If the referendum is to pass, as I hope it will, the problems associated with the first failed campaign must be tackled. As I said, we were all to blame. Where there was disinterest in that campaign, there must now be involvement. The doubt of 15 months ago must be replaced by clarification. From the Government's perspective – and the current Minister was not responsible – the arrogant, dismissive attitude towards people who sincerely voted "No" must be replaced by a reasonable understanding of their fears. Not everyone who voted "No" represented the Flat Earth Society. Many were genuinely confused and decided that if in doubt it was wiser to vote "No" or not at all.
