Survey Review       not signed / not sealed / not delivered

In essence 79.52 % – the yes , no , and informal vote – of  the surveyed electors , consciously or unconsciously , supported marriage – or sexual control and repression – while 20.48 % of the surveyed electors – the non respondents – did not  so support marriage . The vote result would have been considered irrelevant and immaterial by its  orchestrators  providing over 50 % of electors lodged the form hence the emotive and heated 6 week lodgement prelude period . Two / 2  common English gaming  expressions exemplify and explain this scenario


a two horse race   –   conventionally  meaning there being  only  2 possible results despite the participation  number or option choice  associated with an event – horse race – when in reality  there  exist only the  one  desired  outcome  of control  –  by feigned competition

horses for courses   –   conventionally meaning  different  people , horses , are suited  for different things or situations , courses , when  in  reality  horses , people , are  easier  lead both  individually  and  especially  collectively  along  clearly defined  and  outlined courses
– or  known and structured options requiring minimal personal thought and responsibility

A  true  legal  mandate  requires  a real  simple  majority of  half & half again which means at least 75 % total elector support and not  the  simplistic current corrupted  50 %  plus ( 1 ) of  the vote – or electors  that  voted  in  an  election  . Neither the Yes  or  No advocates  for the Marriage Law Postal Survey  of  2017 achieved that so there exist  no  mandate but a proper legal  mandate  on  such  an issue  would  have required at  least  90 %  total elector support

Because  the  pre-survey  legislation  defined  marriage  as  being  between a woman  and  a man  there  did not exist  reason for  a  NO  survey  form  option  other than  provoking mass form lodgement . In  a situation  whereby  YES   presented  as  the  only  survey option  then the  No  advocates  would  not  have  lodged  the  survey  form   thereby  making  the  whole exercise  a  true  survey  of  all  electors  rather  than it  being a vote amongst  an elector mix
