Referendum on coalition continues after technical hitch

An internet referendum on the coalition agreement being held by the Public Affairs party resumed on Saturday morning. Technical problems with the server on Friday led to voting being temporarily abandoned. Around 17,000 members of the party have been asked to vote on the simple question of whether they approve of the coalition deal. The party leadership expects a clear vote in favour since they say around 80 percent of the membership has so far reacted positively to the outcome of talks over various policy areas. The final results should be known on Monday.
