Polygamous referendum

[doctorspock]

Given the current state of affairs, I also envisaged we will have another referendum on polygamous marriages in the near future and spend further millions on the issue. No wonder the govt will be in deficits. They cut on welfare and waste $ in these :(

We voted these idiots in to government why don't they govern? They should just have a vote it should be a conscience vote not on party lines and then they wouldn't have to waste so much of our taxpayers money.

Politicians Do your job make a decision vote and move on!

I would vote yes. To make it law would make society more open to these kinds of relationships. It is possible to love more than one person in certain ways.

Given what is going on in Canada this is not a completely unrealistic comment.

The govt should foreshadow this and put it as part of the referendum to save cost?
