Just so I am clear, the situation is that when there is a proposed wording, that then goes to the Cabinet and to Government. It is at that point that a decision is formally made on whether to proceed to a referendum, and either outcome is possible. The Cabinet and the Government will be within their rights to decide collectively that they do not want to go with that wording and not have a referendum. What we know now is that the wording on a referendum is being worked on and that will be brought to Cabinet. We do not have a specific timeline on that and we do not know how the Cabinet or the Government will decide on that because no one can tell. Do I understand the current process correctly?
