Ok, so the deputies were forced to enable a vital question so that the people could vote. Why is the referendum a farce? I'm honestly not getting it.
Here's an example. The province of Newfoundland joined Canada after the WWII as a result of the referendum. The decision was made in a very narrow margin.
The majority of people, as you might know, wanted to join the US, but the Britain-appointed government did not even ask that question.
I honestly think the Newfoundland's referendum was a farce. Do you?
