I should have been more explicit... the turnout in terms of who hopped on a bus isn't a measure of sentiment, but rather a reflection of the disinterest, apathy, laziness and general "its all been pre determined, out of our control" nature of the Macedonians in Macedonia.
That's why I don't think there will be enough of a turnout.
Those who are for, are for, and a portion of them will get out and vote for.
Those who are against, are against, and will mostly boycott.
The majority however, are probably against the name change, but for EU/NATO and are probably on the fence in terms of how they'd vote, but the disinterest, apathy, laziness and general view of it all being pretermined will weigh into them largely not getting out to vote.
That's my theory anyway.
