Representation and voting weight are the subject of a referendum in the #Falklands in just over 2 weeks time ... (cont'd)
... For the third time in just over 20 years, voters in the #Falklands are being asked if they want to change from having separate constituencies for the capital (Stanley) and the rest of the islands (Camp) to having a single constituency for the whole of the #FalklandIslands ...
... Before the change can be made, it must be approved on the 26th by 2/3 votes in *both* constituencies counted separately (which is not thought likely to happen) and even then LegAssy would not be obliged to pass the Single Constituency Bill ...
... The separate constituencies are protected in the #FalklandIslands Constitution and the argument in favour of the unequal voting weights is that Camp (the #Falklands countryside, for what of a better word) has distinct interests that need to be defended in this way ...
We'll find out the outcome of the referendum on the evening of 26 March ... (end of thread)
Unroll, please and thank you
