SSM Plebiscite

The 1st is that the reason people will vote no is because of lies. Which by extension suggests that the only true conclusion anyone could come to is that they must vote "YES". That if they were not deceived they would all vote yes. Whether that is your intention or not, that is as equally deceptive as that poster.

Not entirely.

I've been asking why people would vote no. All the propoganda out there campaigning for No votes is based on lies.
I'm not saying that there is no good reason to vote no....but everything i've seen out there have been similar to the poster. BS.

The 2nd part I highlighted is a reality of life. What percentage of people are actually in a position to determine how this will affect society with any degree of certainty?
Almost every person who is commenting on this subject is ignorant, only the degree of ignorance changes.

I agree though in the 2nd part that people uninformed shouldn't be making this decision, but that goes both ways. In fact whichever side gets more of the vote will in fact have the higher number of ill-informed people.

And that is why the government should have made this decision, or commissioned a study and based decisions on that information.
The problem with the study is that it can be heavily bias one way or the other.

For the nth amount of time I agree with Lods.
This is an absolute foregone conclusion and should just be passed through parliament

The bold part was the point of that statement. Politicians are voted in to make these decisions and they don't have the balls to do so, they are trying to get the public to bear the brunt of the backlash should it go different to your own personal view.
