William Wright7 said:Election for what, exactly? Sure, an election designed to tear Canada apart—or its various pieces—is a hard no, but just because citizens in one part of the country want to weigh in on some stuff being forced on them doesn't make it illegitimate... especially if they aren't actually trying to dismantle the country or anything...
I’m worried you’re twisting the facts a bit here. Until we actually see the specific question being put to a vote, we can't say for sure whether it's targeting state institutions or not.
Judging by how the local media is reporting this, the regional government's goal is to call a referendum just to protect the Dayton Accords. But since the High Representative—who is an institution
par excellence born from those same Accords—forbids expressing disagreement with the judiciary in this manner, it’s clearly just a massive power struggle. And honestly? This kind of political posturing could end up costing us all dearly.
One more thing: if Christian تحفظ actually allowed a referendum to happen solely to uphold the spirit of the Dayton Accords, then according to Annex III, every displaced person would have to vote based on the '91 census at their current residence. Would a "well-meaning" government in the Forest Reich ever actually be willing to allow that for its victims? 😳
