Rejected petition Public Vote on important government changes

More details

We live in a democracy, therefore any changes that the government wish to implement that receive over 100,000 signatures on an e-petition against them, should be taken to a general public vote.
The public, not just MPs, should have the power to make decisions, in a democratic way, on issues that will affect them, e.g, the NHS bill.
