This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Petition Create a new voting system where (we) The people have ultimate authority.
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.

1.6million people voted AGAINST this - 440,000 voted FOR this. - This oucome means that tax credits remain.
