Background
We think too much government decision making is done without clearly taking adequate representation into account. The current long gap between elections amplifies the problem.
Governments could be reenergised and gain better legitimacy by gaining a mandate from the people more frequently.
It could enable us to get rid of governments we think are bad quicker.
