I'm not staying long enough to find out how good it is firsthand, so I haven't read it.
But all I hear about it, hearsay and radio comments, is that no one really knows what it means, that you need to be a lawyer to understand it enough to do more than guess a yes or no.
Although it is a lengthy phonebook of lawyerese, no one seems to really care. No one I know has given it more interest than repeating what they heard about it, and that's across an almost complete spectrum of the population.
The few people that actually had an opinion (I was bored and curious and went around asking people at random one afternoon), didn't feel like specifying their lean for or against it.
It gives the same impression as the 2002 election turnout and consequences.
I actually agree with the locals on one aspect of things: I don't think the government has much to do with what I expect from it. It stands for almost nothing I care about, and isn't always true to those things it does stand for.
In general it's hard to please everyone, but over here it's hard to do half of that.
I'll stay polite..
Beet: that's correct
