Risk PaulP, some people think any change is risky, while some people think not changing is the bigger risk!
You find the exact same scenario in the climate change debate, it has nothing to do with the actual issue under debate, and everything to do with human nature.
If you think their indecisiveness is offensive, and you get aggressive about it while arguing the case, you will reinforce their personal beliefs and they will vote exactly the way that makes them feel safe. Which more often than not is to retain the status quo!
Most people live obliviously, they want the path of least stress.
btw., It is a false sense of security they have, that the status quo is safe, but it's very real to them!
