That this House welcomes the victory of Evo Morales in winning the Bolivian constitutional referendum in Bolivia with the support of around 60 per cent. of the electorate; notes that the new constitution provides for a more equal distribution of Bolivia's natural resources and land and also addresses the centuries-long discrimination faced by the majority indigenous population; and calls on the right-wing opposition who have engaged in sustained violence to subvert the democratic process to now accept the expressed will of the Bolivian people.

This motion has been signed by a total of 45 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
