| Referendums - a thought: Switzerland - a country that has many referendums also has proper rules. "Any citizen or organisation that collects a defined number of signatures can demand that a referendum be held. The exact wording is drawn up by civil servants and constitutional lawyers in discussion with the proposers so that voters know precisely what they are being asked to agree to. It is even permitted to proposed a motion to strike down legislation recently approved in parliament. This ingenious balance between direct democracy and representative democracy has the enormous benefit that legislation for significant change is couched in moderate terms for fear of subsequent rejection by the people. Under such a system, the Brexit vote wouldn't even have reached the starting line." |
