This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament

Petition Introduce regular referendums so that the people can decide major laws/decisions

Currently MP's are voted by first past the post method.This leads to a situation where parties like Green and Ukip have only 1 MP each for almost 5mn votes. It is time for major decisions/laws to be made by regular referendum's similar to what happens in Switzerland.
This would increase democracy

More details

Many cantons in Switzerland are also allowing voting by the internet or even SMS.
