Background

We call on the Government to require binding public votes on all major national decisions, and to establish a publicly elected oversight committee, one member per county, to ensure fairness and transparency. Together this provides double protection for democracy. Prevents unfair major decisions.

Additional details

We want Parliament to pass a law giving the public a direct say on all major national decisions. Binding public votes should be required for issues such as NHS contracts, foreign tech deals, privatisations, or constitutional reforms. A publicly elected committee, with one member per county, would oversee these votes to ensure fairness and transparency. This double protection would prevent unfair major decisions being forced through without consent.
