Didn't we just see the opposite? In the most recent referendum, the
decisive argument for shortening was the existence of hardened fronts
rather than a lack of controversy. Sam suspected that people had made
up their minds. [1]

The DPL later cited urgency, but did so without an explanation and in
an apparent attempt to end the fighting quickly. [2] The vote was
urgent only because it threatened to tear the community apart.

The outcome was close, too—and anything but uncontroversial.

Kind regards
