Give citizens of the UK the ability to initiate their own nation-wide referenda.
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.
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.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
