Closed Introduce a referendum to decide: maintain or abolish the inheritance tax.

Closed on

I am writing to propose a public referendum on the inheritance tax, allowing citizens to vote on its retention or abolition. We think this initiative would empower the electorate to voice their opinions on a significant issue that affects many families.

We think a referendum would enhance democratic engagement and ensure that tax policies reflect the will of the people. I urge you to consider this proposal to strengthen our democratic values and foster public trust in our governance.
