To me that is part of the problem. Why is this a decision to be put to referendum? We elect representatives to study the issues and make informed decisions on our behalf.

Imagine a doctor telling you: I'm unsure if you have gastritis or stomach cancer, so we are putting it to a referendum so you can vote on what you have.
