Something else. I'm not arguing agaainst clarity. I think it would be
great for all concerned to clarify the constitution. But you're assuming
that a process which had the task of reviewing and amending the constitution
would end up with a version which you feel you can comply with. Now, if the
pressure were there to significantly change the constitution to something
you didn't agree with, what would you do? And, I think you answered this
point quite well already.
