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 a referendum in the local area subject to a council being abolished
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.
Referendum changing the UK from constitutional monarchy to a democratic republic
We think there should be a referendum on the future of the monarchy & the type of government they want to be part of. Stay as a constitutional monarchy or become a true & secular democratic republic. We think it's time we became a democratic republic, it's long overdue.
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.
Require a referendum for the establishment of any combined mayoral authority
We demand the introduction of a statutory requirement for the government to hold a legally binding referendum before the establishment of any combined mayoral authority in England.
