THE PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT GOVERNMENT SPENDING
Currently 50%+ of all the country's money is spent by the state. By comparison in Victorian times it was as low as 6%.
Such spending is out of control because there is nobody in power with the incentive to stop taxing us that we, the taxpayers, have.
Parliament should debate whether the people have a right to set a limit.
We propose a mandatory, multi-option referendum to set the maximum propotion
If government spending is, or goes, above the legal limit no new spending Bill or Cabinet instruction to increase spending would have any legal validity and the UK Supreme Court have the right to order specific cuts until spending is legalised.
There should be further referendums not more often than every 2nd year nor less often than at each General Election with the same spread offered of from 5% above to 5% below the then current limit.
