    For me, the lack of a definition of a durable relationship was the killer. How do you know if you’re in one? What if one person thinks they are and the other doesn’t? Do you have to break up every six months or so to avoid creating one?

    And definitely the care referendum was just stupid. The state will “strive” to provide care? My dude I’m striving to levitate right now, but mysteriously fuck all seems to be happening in real life.

      I was mostly OK with this. The constitution is broad strokes and legislation is to define the minutia with the courts as the final arbiters.

      I did feel like that one was open to potential abuse by both legislation and court cases but I have enough faith in our senior judiciary to not fuck up the interpretation and I felt the current wording was really out of date so it swung me towards a yes, just about.

      It definitely could have been worded better and I think it will come in a future vote. The current wording is very 1936 like.

        Absolutely, I have no problem with the intent of the proposal, just the wording was lazy and too open to abuse.

        The care one however was awful. That would need a total rework before I’d consider a yes.
