Sir Alrek, I can only give one obvious response to that logic: Pbbbbbbbt!
(Luckily, I wasn't sipping a drink at the time I read that lovely item. Several
points for style, some subtractions for timing...)

Awright, working definition of "plebiscite" (from memory, and therefore what was
meant when I wrote the original): a vote taken by a given population which will
fundamentally change the governement or governmental structure under which said
population will live. Not just a poll, but a complete balloting of the
_franchised_ voters. In SCA plebiscites, the franchise rests with the paid
membership.
(Pre-emptive strike, now that I've been warned and am prepared:
franchised = entitled to vote on a given matter)
(TBD, unless someone dug out a ruling while I wasn't paying attention, is what
level of payment comprises membership for voting purposes. Associate and above
certainly, but last I saw there was some debate yet as to the Family
memberships...)
