Yes, but it was announced as a non-binding referendum and it is clear 
that many would have voted differently if it had been declared as 
binding.  Of course, one is not forbidden to implement the result of a 
non-binding referenendum, but if it is a) non-binding and b) close, as 
in this case, then common sense dictates that there should have been a 
binding referendum after, say, 6 months of debate.
