I want to clarify that I am in favour of repealing based on legislation published in tandem with the referendum so that citizens clearly know what will replace the eighth amendment in the event of a question being put to the people of whether they wish to repeal or not. It is for that reason that I do not favour repeal simpliciter. I believe that legislation needs to be published in tandem with any referendum that is put to the people.
