Closed Create a new voting system where (we) The people have ultimate authority.

Closed on

The Public can over-rule ANY policy/law/person based on votes for and against each and every decision proposed by government.

This system is much like the current Petition system, except instead of voting for a debate on a subject, the will of the people is simply carried out without debate.

The only overriding factor shall be public votes. No representation or "seats" to represent groups of people. 1 Person = 1 Vote.

The public can vote 'Yes' - OR - 'No' to any subject and can vote in any manner E.g. Online, Phone, TXT and Postal. There will be a minimum number of votes required.

EXAMPLE:
"The government wishes to end "tax credits" Do you want to end Tax Credits?"-
1.6million people voted AGAINST this - 440,000 voted FOR this. - This oucome means that tax credits remain.
