Require Public Consent for Major National Policies

Background

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.

Additional details

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.
