Evidently there is little connection between your headline and reality Bjorn Against May 2015 #79

But he was not a no vote, he was a yes vote Bjorn Against May 2015 #98
A vote is not a statement, no. Congratulations. nt ucrdem May 2015 #100
A vote is a whole lot more meaningful than a statement Bjorn Against May 2015 #101
