In such places one would have the confidence that the outcome of the vote would be fair and just...but this is not a normal place that we are talking about but Macedonia, where bribery, corruption and dysfunction are the norms.
It is the non-binding nature of the referendum that is the problem, not the vote/boycott strategy...
This was a deliberate safeguard put in place by the architects of the referendum process for exactly the post referendum environment that we find ourselves in today...even if every person on the electoral role had gone out and voted and the majority voted 'NO', Zaev and his handlers would still be focusing on the wishes of the 'Yes' voters...
There is no doubt that the grand strategy here is to change Macedonia's name (at any cost), the referendum was a mere sideshow of feigned democracy...
In a country where democracy and the laws of the land are respected, the PM would recognise that the referendum had failed its first test of minimum voter turnout and it would be duly abandoned and in most cases that same PM would hand in his resignation...the mere fact that Zaev continues full steam with his name changing agenda shows that he neither represents the Macedonian people nor does he respect the laws of the land.
I'm still disappointed that some on this forum continue to attack the boycott movement as dumb. backward or servile.
Even after months of Zaev's lies that the road to the EU (&NATO) is paved with gold, over 70% of the population refused to be swayed, refused to sell the name...I think that deserves some accolades and it definitely needs more support from the diaspora...not condemnation!
