Your post is poorly framed, I assume the title is something your partner said and not your actual thoughts.

Who's to say the "no" result wasn't entirely a "progressive no"?

Ever been to North Queensland?

The stats.

Just look at the no vote by electorate.

The electorates that voted overwhelmingly no are some of the most conservative in the country.

It’s inconceivable these electorates are actually voting for a progressive no.

There's a lot of this going on. "Actually progressive people voted no!"
