What the petition asks
Hold a simple yes or no referendum on whether the TV Licence should be abolished.
We keep being told by many politicians that the BBC is a national institution and should be protected by the continuing of the TV licence. This petition calls on the government to give the people a voice and to hold a yes/no referendum to see how the population truly feels.
