He plays Banishment to start the action.
Then, when it isn't intercepted, the referendum occurs (and
he has one vote).

No. He can only get 1 vote fom Political Action cards, and he
gets his one fom the Banishment itself.

> can he replace card played ?

Yes. The rules regarding not replacing cards during a referendum
have been overturned -- cards are replaced as normal at all times
(barring explicit card text to the contrary).

Note that "Vampire want" suggests that we're talking about the vampire
as "and have 1 vote".

To avoid confusion:

The one vote gained from the political action card (either discarded to
gain a vote, or used to call the vote) goes to the Methuselah who called
the vote. Per 6.3.3:

"If a political action card was used to call the referendum,
that card provides a vote for the acting vampire's controller."

This means that effects that affect the vampire (e.g. Pulling Strings)
do not affect that one vote which has been gifted to the Methuselah.
