Macedonia's name deal referendum: "Do you want EU and NATO?"

Dishonest question.

It is a big risk for the government to join all three items.
If EU, NATO and name change must be on the referendum, then there should be 3 separate questions.


As it stands, if Macedonians vote Yes, it is clear what is wanted but if they vote No, it is not clear .
What if a voter agrees to the new name but doesnt want to join NATO?

"Are you in favor of NATO and EU membership, and accepting the name agreement between the republic of Macedonia and Greece?"

Is this a joke ?

WOW, what a rigged question. It most obviously doesn't conform to the same standards, that say BREXIT went through. Check -> https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/find-information-by-subject/elections-and-referendums/past-elections-and-referendums/eu-referendum/eu-referendum-question-assessment

It also doesn't give voters the opinion to have a differing opinion on each of them. This would never pass in some Western European country, the FYROMians are being manipulated and treated like dirt.

If it doesn't pass then I bet the Russians will be blamed.

Risky for the government Dwight???? That question will guarantee Zaev's long political career!! I wonder why they dont ask macedonians Do you want EU Nato and marijuana and a bottle of plum rakia!!!

"Are you in favor of Macedonia winning the next World Cup, and accepting the name agreement between the republic of Macedonia and Greece?"

"Are you in favor of having oxygen in the air, and accepting the name agreement between the republic of Macedonia and Greece?"

"Are you in favor of the sun rising every morning, and accepting the name agreement between the republic of Macedonia and Greece?"

"Are you in favor of drinking water when you are thirsty, and accepting the name agreement between the republic of Macedonia and Greece?"

"Are you in favor of eating food when you are hungry, and accepting the name agreement between the republic of Macedonia and Greece?"

"Are you in favor of keeping warm in winter, and accepting the name agreement between the republic of Macedonia and Greece?"

"Are you in favor of keeping cool in summer, and accepting the name agreement between the republic of Macedonia and Greece?"

"Are you in favor of the sky being blue and grass being green, and accepting the name agreement between the republic of Macedonia and Greece?"

What if a voter agrees to the new name but doesnt want to join NATO?

========================
The whole purpose of putting all three questions in one is to get the desired answer which is YES to all three.
I wonder why there are no international observers for this referendum. Where are the NGOs?
If Macedonians had a brain they would vote NO until they got treated with respect.

how about splitting the question into two:

Question 1
"Are you in favor of NATO and EU membership?" YES/NO

Question 2
"Are you in favor of changing the constitutional name to the 'Republic of North Macedonia'and accepting the Prespa agreement?" YES/NO

Dishonest question.
