I took this to mean each and every Bill is voted on. It seems what you meant is only those selected for a plebsicite (again, that's what it's called). I've already mentioned how that happens and associated problems.

But im saying they DONT play the key role, the people do.
The pollies can come up with whatever harebrained scheme they want, but if they cant convince the people it is OK, it doesnt happen.
I get the general idea, believe me, I do. The plebiscite is an old idea - well known - and with well-known problems.

But I can only say this so many times: it's not that it's a bad idea, but it doesn't add anything to my proposal.
