Kasz216 said: I'm not sure what you mean. I've disproven all 3. I think your the one that has the current reading comprehension problem. There was no middle option to make "defacto" independence real independence. Why else do you think they had a dual refferendum, instead of it just being 3 options for 1 question? They did the same thing in Puerto Rico. Or do you think Puerto Ricans are dumb? Split refferendum votes like this are done soley for biasing results so that people will vote yes for one of the two options. It's done to get rid of the default option that is likely most preferable. So according to the TMR poll there was at maxium 6-8% people who would vote No... where like 2-3% did vote no. That's well within the margin of error. |
The question was the way it was because that's how majority perceived it in TMR (hence the entire history of TMR, see below) and so people like you, and all kinds of politicians won't have a chance to skew it, TMR independence is the way to join Russia for TMR, or let's call it Russian geopolitical space, actual legal status may differ (as of a matter of fact Crimea now has more independence than it had in Ukraine). There's no practical sense for supporting independence because they de-facto have it and TMR is fairly integrated into Russian Federation as of now, so the question could be simplified to this formula -- Russia or Moldavia.
Here's the full picture -- try to disprove this:
1) In referendum of 1989, 96% voted for foundation of PMSSR as a part of USSR (previously part of Moldavian SSR), the very same descision 93% Crimenian voted to be a part of USSR as a newly recreated KrASSR (previously part of Ukrainian SSR).
2) In referendum of 1991, 98% voted to keep USSR, when it still existed.
3) But history dictates its own terms and after USSR has practically dissolved in the same year's referendum 98% voted for independence of TMR from Moldavia.
4) In referendum of 1995, 90% voted to keep Russian forces in TMR.
5) In the same year 90% voted to be a part of CIS.
6) In referendum of 2006, 98% voted to join Russia.
Sure, Russia absolutely has no place in minds of Transdnestrians.
As for the original point of yours that Crimean referendum is cooked, here's what you originally said: "That's a fairly obvious cooked vote if you've looked at any actual polling done in the last 10 years or so" -- so you were trying to disprove referendum with a f**king survey, that does NOT necessarily contradict it as precedent of TMR survey and referendum showed -- you practically acknowledged that with quoted post.
