The Referendum Tables

For years I passed the tables with petitions. These petitions are placed in strategic places to get referendums on the ballot for the next votation. This one has to do with the unemployed and not reducing the social contract. Happily, I picked up a pen and signed.

Of course it will get the required signatures. They always do. Then I will spend an afternoon, curled up with my voting book, trying to work my way through the legalese, the different parties view points and look at the chart at the where the yes-nos are merely checked to help me make my decision.

Hopefully it won’t be like the last votation with the UDC (far right) agreed with the Socialists (far left). But, considering the issue, the chances are minimal.
