Referendum instead of parliament debates for all public matters.
Instead of having votes in parliament on issues regarding the public, a referendum should be held instead. The government is meant to represent us. However it's time for us to represent ourselves.
Many recent public polls don't reflect the outcome of in parliament votes (ie assisted dying, fracking). This shows the government isn't representing the public, but their own interests. It's time policies and laws represent the country and its people, not just benefitting the few.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
We cannot accept duplicate petitions. We think this petition is similar to yours:

You might like to sign this petition instead. It is more likely to get more signatures that way.
