SSM Plebiscite

[DJC]

Just quoting myself here...
The regionality of the plebiscite seems to have had a big influence of our perceptions of how it would turn out.

I thought Kruddler was being wildly optimistic with some of his predictions but he was probably in one of those high '80+' Yes electorates.
My own was about the 60-40.
The Labor folk I referenced above were from the Liverpool region where strong Labor electorates voted emphatically NO

I think that's called "hotcoxing" 

As I said above, there is huge potential for scholarly analysis of voting trends.

I guess the main thing I take away, apart from the terrible waste of money, is that a referendum would have been successful, and then some.  It's nice to think that our country can be quite progressive ... on some issues.
