Because they require constitutional amendments (federal veto) or are plainly unconstitutional. Assuming "yes" votes carry, what then? Kenney's equalization referendum didn't soothe separatists. It emboldened them. 1623179

Evan Walker @evanwalkerpolisci.bsky.social · 15/08/2025I’ve been an advocate for this approach for awhile.
