Because it will show the genuine trend – at the moment, a quick glance at the graph would suggest that the "no" vote is expanding at the same rate, and at the same level as the "yes" vote.  I agree that we can't clearly show that they're not at the same level, because it would involve scaling the "no" vote to 1 100th of the size of the yes vote, but we can clearly show that they're not expanding at the same rate.
