Waiting for Fitzgerald

[Spanky]

My instincts tell me that it would be better if the Constitution fails. If the Constitution passes that will just reconfirm the suspicion many Sunnis have that in any future government they will not have a voice. However, if their no vote wins it will show that they do have a voice. When they didn't turn out to vote things did not go their way but when they did they got what they wanted. It will show that Democracy works.

In the next constitutional round the Sunnis will have fair representation and then the next round will be more legitimate.

If the constitution passes that will just give rise to the insurgents arguments that the Sunnis are going to get screwed in any future government.

In addition, every time there is an electio you have better turnout and democracy looks better and better. The more votes you have the more democracy is legitimized.
