Not so.  You have inadvertently given the solution to the problem.  The government should be educating voters on the various choices along with the advantages and disadvantages and only after this has been done then hold a referendum. The point should be made that any change adopted will not be set in stone and will be revisited if voters are not satisfied.  Further the referendum should not be a yes or no to the Liberals preferred option but a real choice between the various alternatives (within reason). The last thing the government must avoid is asking for some absurd plurality as some provinces have done
