So... yeah. This isn't over, the process continues, and it is likely that the country could well be voting on a different new text in 2023. Hopefully the same mistakes - and there were many - will not be made this time.

I have my doubts that the same mistakes will not be made, Lumine. The result was a massive blow for Approve, in fact, the 62% of reject was closer to a 2/3 majority than Approve actually winning by a hair. This is just my opinion, feel free to discuss it and disagree with it, but I believe that the best course of action would be to pick up the 1980 constitution and initiate a complete and total makeover of it. Initiating a new Convention would create divisions, discussions that have nothing to do with the Constitution itself and create noise that would led, probably, to the same mistakes made that culminated in this result. Take a cue from my country: our original 1976 constitution was an ideological mess, but during the 80's, basically all of the ideological rhetoric was removed, tons of articles and limitations were changed/removed that completely changed the tone of the original text.
