Rejected petition People Power

More details

Before there is a major policy/law change in the UK, the people should get a chance to have their say and if need be have a vote on the issue, its not fair for a 650 member parliment to decide on the future of 65 million people, I thought we lived in a democracy, for the people by the people, why is it then we never get a say on anything which goes on in the UK like for example joining the EURO! why do the governments we vote in never keep their promises we need a system where peoples voices can be heard and represented.
