Referendum for the RIGHT to referendum (pilot run)

Introduction
Many people have expresssed discontent with the way democracy works and there are different opinions as to what should be done to improve it. In Britain, for instance, there are plans to reform the second chamber of parliament and to change the system for electing members of parliament.

Another suggested improvement is to introduce the right of citizens to veto laws passed by parliament and the right to introduce their own proposals or laws to be put to referendum. An agreed number of supporting signatures must be collected to initiate these procedures. This type of "direct democracy", side by side with "representative democracy", is already well tried in Switzerland, the USA and elsewhere.
