\"minnis\"Opposition Leader Dr Hubert Minnis yesterday said the government should call a general election if it planned to go against the January 2013 referendum on web shops.<\/p>\n

Dr Minnis charged that any decision to revert from the referendum would signal a shift from democracy to dictatorship, hitting out at recent statements by several cabinet ministers that the legalization of number houses should be reconsidered.<\/p>\n

He maintained that the official position of the Free National Movement remained unchanged despite the personal views expressed by its chairman Darron Cash.<\/p>\n

Speaking outside of the House of Assembly, Dr Minnis said: \u201cThe people spoke, and we\u2019re (FNM) on the side of the people. You (government) can not have a referendum and then ignore what the people say, because what does that say for future referendums? Once the people have spoken, then we follow what the people have said.\u201d<\/p>\n
