Canadians rejected it outright, effectively halting the country's formal constitutional evolution. But what did the No vote mean? Were voters making a considered judgment after thorough consideration of the package or were they expressing their anger with politicians, particularly Prime Minister Brian Mulroney? \u003ci\u003eThe Challenge of Direct Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e provides the definitive account of the 1992 referendum on the Charlottetown Accord. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on extensive surveys conducted during and after the campaign, \u003ci\u003eThe Challenge of Direct Democracy \u003c\/i\u003eis a comprehensive investigation of voter opinion, intention, perception, and behaviour in a referendum.
