Therefore talking about Annan plan with mimor modifications is a total waste of time. Annan plan needs huge modifications if its going to be placed in referendum again. If this huge modifications will make the plan unacceptable to the TCs so be it. Thats why we make referenda. They will let us know that it is unacceptable for them by voting no to it.
I totally agree with Piratis on this one. The criterion for a new plan should not be how close or how far it is from the Annan Plan, but whether it is acceptable by both communities. If massive alterations are acceptable to both communities (obvious example: a bicommunal unitary state, similar to 1960 constitution), then so be it. There is nothing sacred about the Annan Plan, or any other conceivable plan. What is sacred is the will of the people, as expressed in simultaneous referenda.
