The Party Whip needs to have his power curtailed. The compulsion
placed upon a member elected by his constituents to vote the party
line on issues and not the wishes of his constituents is an abuse
of our system.
The right to recall an elected member who no longer votes the
wishes of his constituents needs to be made easier. This will make
this right a stronger check on the voting patterns of sitting
members. The time frame needed to allow the proces to
function needs to be lengthened.
The right to place an initiative on a referendum ballot gives a
citizen a right to create legislation outside of the legislature.
This broadens the base of our democracy. The right already exists,
but needs to be made more user-friendly.
