This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Change the adversarial system of parliament to collaboration and cooperation.
With the ever burgeoning desire for the populace to become aware, debate & make clear their opinions on all issues, new mechanisms are overdue for development to enable voters to participate more directly in Government. People feel disconnected from government and this needs to be corrected.
More details
Historically it was practical and effective to have a select educated few to govern the country. New technology, societal development and issue awareness can mean voters can be rationally called on to participate more directly and effectively in Government. Current Politicians talk about "a mandate" to enact policies, whereas all voters want is more statesmanship, conscience and action predicated on an understanding of their custodianship of a precious trust given to them by the people.
