Sir, – Kevin O'Sullivan (April 16th) suggests a propensity of the voting public to a positive bias in referendums with a simple Yes/No choice. He suggests an alternative ballot process in which we tick one of two boxes indicating the following: "This proposed amendment should be enacted" and "This proposed amendment should not be enacted". This is an excellent suggestion.
May I suggest we have a referendum on this proposed change? I, however, will be voting No. – Yours, etc,
