What was the question on the ballot paper? And clarify what Yes/No mean
[edit]I think it might be useful to include the actual question asked prominently in the article, so it is clear what the results mean. For a while when reading I was confused as to whether "Yes" meant support or oppose the railway, given that the opening paragraph talks of a "referendum to repeal the law".

- "Yes" meant "carry on with the law". "No" meant "repeal the law and figure out something else". It was not directly opposing the railway itself, although a no would likely delay the construction. Do you have a better suggestion how to word this? --Tone 09:21, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
Neutrality
[edit]I don't think this article adheres to NPOV. There are a lot of reasons listed for building the track (increased traffic limits etc.) but none against; all we have there is the name of an activist who opposed it, and some quote by a supporting politician that this will not turn out like an earlier project (I presume? that reference was never explained). Around half of the voters opposed the project so their reasoning must be explained too. 93.139.45.186 (talk) 17:03, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
- It's there: Among the concerns of the opponents were the alleged lack of transparency regarding the finances, questions regarding the proposed track route, and the involvement of Hungary as a potential partner in the construction project. --Tone 09:21, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
