Perhaps because they was doubt that the "most people favoured" figures were any more accurate? If the veracity of the vote is in question, I'd rather they continue with the status quo than go with what may be padded vote numbers.

And yes voters would have incentive to dupe votes to make sure the wipe went through.

And you have evidence of this?
