Petition Action

Give citizens of the UK the ability to initiate their own nation-wide referenda.

Petition Details

After an appropriate sized petition is raised, of maybe 400,000 people, a nation-wide referendum is called to annul any act of parliament, law or treaty in effect within the UK.

Additional Information

The word democracy stems from the Greek word, dēmokratía, comprising two parts: dêmos "people" and kratos "power". Without a demos, there is no democracy. But people without power is not democracy either.

Our current system of government is known as "representative democracy". That phrase is a misuse of the word democracy. People do not hold power: that system cannot by definition be a democracy.
