This has been recommended multiple times by multiple different enquiries etc, it's about time someone actually got it done.
Putting it to a referendum, and the additional checks and balances, sound like some very reasonable extra precautions.
Yes, but we don't govern by what the experts say. We govern by what the current party thinks their base wants. It is all based on feeling and not knowledge.
To a point, but this time we are actually doing what the experts advise.
Not necessarily.....the public could still torpedo this!
That's the joy of a democracy, the people get what they want, even if it's a terrible idea.
Although this does have a lot of public support, so I think it will pass.
Why is 4 better than 3. Why not 5 or 6 or 10?
