Kudos......

You are making a silly jump:

"elections haven't given ME what **I** wanted so let's try something ELSE!"

Your suggestion seems to be for more referenda....

Let's look at that option...

If you offered the public a referendum on each of the following:

* Hanging
* Banning of public displays of homosexuality
* Repatriation of certain races (not just individual PEOPLE but whole RACES)
* Making (when she was alive) Princess Diana into the QUEEN, immediately.
* making Jade Goody the patron saint of the British isles
* Assassinating Gerry Adams
* closing all American airbases in Britain
* Making the date of the FA Cup a 'public holiday'
* removing the laws on Cannabis and Ecstacy
* Millions MORE surveillance cameras (on the basis, 'only those who are doing illegal things need to worry')
* publishing the addresses of ALL criminals
* castration for pedophiles (and, probably, paediatricians, pedologists as well...)
* withdrawal from the EU
* Adoption of the Dollar as our national currency
* Re-building Hadrian's wall BUT... THIS TIME.... making it big enough to WORK
* Shelling the French when they blockade our imports...
* putting Eastenders on 27 times per WEEK
* making Sex in the City COMPULSORY viewing fopr men....
* Etc.

.... are you SURE you'd also like the way ALL those referenda would go? If not.... who is going to choose WHICH subjects we PUT to the publis as 'referenda'? I might think that banning wearing socks with sandals SHOULD be put to a referendum but YOU might want a referendum on 'bad spelling'.... So....who is going to decide WHAT on WHICH subjects we vote....?

My point is that the voting public are really VASTLY too inconsistent in their views to have the DAILY control. Simply look at the Princess Diana situation. The country damned nigh CLOSED on the day of her funeral... but... barely 6 months later, they had to cut back the Althorp park 'tourist attraction' becasue nobody CARED enough to GO there!

Running a country needs EXPERTS who remain BROADLY consitent..... unlike the PUBLIC.....

Damn it.... your BELOVED Public only voted the Blair/Brown pact in about 3 years AGO..... and they fell out of love with them in SECONDS..... THIS TIME!

You should be able to VOTE for those 'experts' but NOT have a daily say so in what is DONE by them.
