But as only a smidgen over 20% of those who voted, voted to reject the peace deal, perhaps the President should just ignore this narrow margin and go ahead anyway.

I'm sure there's a joke hear about not trusting the people to be able to make complex decisions based on a single referendum question but I just can't quite see it.

Its not a joke if you live in a backward, 3rd world country like Columbia Jim....only 40% of the country voted.
