The current process allows Government to force top-down council reorganisations without a final, binding say from local residents. We believe that local consultations are often flawed. We demand the law be changed to give residents the democratic right to a referendum.
Require a referendum and 2 years' notice for any major constitutional changes
No government should be able to make major changes to constitutional structures without a referendum from the British people, including changes to elections or alterations to the powers or composition of Parliament. Proposed changes should have at least 2 years' notice to enable research & debate.
Require a referendum for any policy that breaches the governments manifesto
The government should not be able to act in away which goes against their manifesto pledges. We believe the manifesto is what drives the people to vote for government. If the government wishes to break the manifesto then we the public should have a vote in a referendum.
Require government to secure consent by referendum to delay a local election
We think the present government is acting in an undemocratic way by continuing to delay some local elections. Any government wanting to delay any local elections should first have to put the question to a countrywide referendum and get public consent from the result.
