From The Times July 10, 2008 http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/peter_riddell/article4305321.ece Good, bad and plain daft ideas of power to people "The real scope for direct democracy and participation is local, as described by Ms Blears, apart from the occasional referendum. Nationally, the priority is to reinvigorate representative democracy." IandRgb comment ca. 19:00 10th July 2008 (only 300 characters allowed in this public forum) The Communities white paper states "Universal Declaration of Human Rights set out rights to ... take part in government “directly or through freely chosen representatives”". The right of an electorate to call a referendum is thus a basic component of democracy, denied by the Justice ministry.
