If you oppose one of the choices on the ballot and are in favor of the other, and yet boycott it, then you're just playing into the other guy's hands!I'm told the options were "leave the Ukraine" or "leave the Ukraine and join Russia" - no option to stay part of the Ukraine, so nothing to be in favour of.
