But being prepared to honour a "Yes" decision is. By allowing a vote on something, by implication you are saying the result will be honoured and implemented. More than a little bit disingenuous to say "we don't like the result, so we're going to do the opposite". A democratic country ceases to be democratic, if it ignores a democratic vote.
