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

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.
