Maybe you shd read properly my postings.
On the Lichtenstein website you find the text of the referendum and the changes to the constitution.
Precisely the question was whether the Prince shd have these right or not. The right was not used but in the case of the abortion law the Pricne threaten to use it.
But you are right: The Lichtensteiner have voted in favour of retaining the system and that's te end of the matter.
