Petition Give UK citizens the right to automatic and binding referenda

More details

The bullying by the leaders of all three main parties of dissenting MP's over the Europe referendum issue shows how a small group of politicians has hijacked parliament, which increasingly does not represent the citizens of this country.
Set up a Commission to examine the Swiss model of direct democracy, and adopt a UK-devised system, ensuring that the people decide major issues for themselves, not small interest groups.
