I thank Professor Fiona de Londras. That was most helpful.

The discourse around this issue can be on either extreme. From my experience of talking to people, most people are somewhere between the two extremes and on different points, however. The possibility of a preferendum has been mentioned where a series of options would be offered in the referendum. Will the witnesses outline the difficulties with that?
