Did you understand that this question - if approved - could not lead to separation without a further referendum? That it was only a request for a mandate to start negotiations? If you understood that, why is it unacceptable???

And so, if the 1995 referendum had passed (which it almost did), you would have denied Quйbec the right to exercise its sovereignty because the voters didn't demand to see the offer before voting "yes"?
