Require Public Consent for Major National Policies
We call on Parliament to introduce a law requiring verified public approval before any major policy affecting citizens’ rights or freedoms—such as a national Digital ID—can be implemented.
At present, governments can proceed without clear consent, leaving the public with no meaningful control over policies that affect them directly.
This law would ensure that the people remain the ultimate authority: no measure could proceed without a clear demonstration of public support.
Continuing with policies like Digital ID without such consent would show a lack of good faith in upholding democratic principle.
In a true democracy, the government serves the people, not the other way around.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do, and how you would like the Government or Parliament to obtain "verified public approval."
