In the 2014 election the pro LRT Mayoral candidates together won over 60% of the vote. The candidate who made opposition to LRT the key plank in his platform won 31%. That's a pretty clear decision.

Interestingly, even Brad Clark had previously been supportive of LRT but seemed to have decided that being the anti-LRT Mayoral candidate was his best chance at success (by splitting the pro-LRT votes between McHattie and Eisenberger). He actually only came out as opposing LRT in early September 2014 ... just a couple of months before the election.

It would be great if turnout was higher, but I very much doubt a special referendum just on LRT would attract a higher turnout!
