A Referendum on the Change of Status of Barbados and other Issues

A referendum is a unique exercise in democracy. It will be the first time that the Parliament consults in this way with Barbadians. It invites the people to vote directly on a set of constitutional proposals which will affect the way they live. The magnitude of the task must be experienced, to be believed. There will be extensive innovations if it is done rightly and it will cost a tidy sum. With this said, former diplomat, public administrator and trade unionist Nigel, O. Harper in this article sets out strategies for conduct of referendum.
