What the petition asks

It is fundamentally undemocratic to change the nature of our local democracy without full consultation with the people who will be effected by the proposals. The proposals should be temporarily withdrawn until such time as due consultation and a referendum have been held.
Where is the accountability, democracy and transparency in these proposals?
Were these proposals put to the people at the 2015 General Election?
What evidence is there that showing the electorate support such changes?
