Give UK citizens the right to veto laws by national referendum https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/726955

Background
Digital ID would give citizens secure online verification. The same system could enable nationwide votes on legislation before it becomes law. This would modernise democracy, increase transparency, and ensure that Parliament and the public work together in shaping the UK’s laws.
Such a system would strengthen democratic participation, increase government transparency, and ensure that future laws reflect the direct will of the people.
