What the petition asks
The people should have to pre-approve all new laws before they are passed, with a minimum 70% turn out and minimum 60% approval.
If less than 70% turn out to vote, then the law cannot be passed.
If less than 60% of voters are in agreement then the law cannot be passed.
The people of the United Kingdom are being increasingly subjected to new laws, which are being passed without many people even being aware of them, and some of which we believe are tyrannical or detrimental to the people of the United Kingdom.
We believe that those in power do not have the best interests of the people at heart, and have forgotten that THEY serve US.
It's high time that the people of the United Kingdom had an active say in new laws that are passed.
