HST question is devious

Re: To HST OR NOT TO HST, June 2 - 8

Danielle you hit on a problem. People want to vote NO but the HST question  "..are you in favour.." suggests NO. But the real answer has to be Yes. People don’t read beyond the first few words because their brain has already decided. It is a cute question. Worded craftily. In order to Vote No you have to Vote Yes. As you say in the lay terms — vote no to keep it and yes to get rid of it. This is what people want to know

Oh my. What a devious world.
