Or maybe he thought it was appropriate to let the people have a direct say.
From what I believe I understand of him, as a person and a politician, over many years, my money's on that.
The nation wide petulant hissy fits, and emotional blackmail that have ensued, have turned it into something else.
And then there's the sanctimonius self referencers on here.
I doubt any pollie will want to think about people's referenda for anything now. Who would want to go through this crap again in anything under 15 years?
