They announced that UKIP will bring forward a Citizen's Initiative,
so the people of Britain can directly influence legislation. A national
referendum will be held every two years on the most popular petition
gathering over 2 million signatures and the outcome will be in the Queen's
Speech.
UKIP will also introduce real recall: the Tories have fudged their promise
of recall to sack MPs, leaving it up to MPs and only
so the people of Britain can directly influence legislation. A national

UKIP will also introduce real recall: the Tories have fudged their promise
of recall to sack MPs, leaving it up to MPs and only
allowing recall in
certain circumstances. We will give genuine
power to the people to sack their MP (or Councillor, etc). On
voting reform. UKIP believes that the dated First Past the Post
(FPTP) electoral system is no longer relevant in the four/five/six/
party politics of the 21st century. We want a new electoral system
in which every vote counts.

It has become increasingly obvious that the current situation with
postal votes is not fit for purpose. We will tear up the current postal
vote register and start again from scratch. There is fraud on a massive
scale that's turned some areas into banana republics when it comes to
voting. You must have a valid reason for needing a postal vote.
