Yes, there is a problem with referendum. But perhaps, the referendum results would show a disproportionate support (or opposition) to the proposed changes among the provinces. This should be an important indicator to any ruling party. If you have vehement opposition among all provinces but two, should they ignore the strong dissent and proceed anyway? Not a slam dunk decision.
