Easy, we'll ask for a referendum about it, so the population will be
able to decide upon it.

Here there's no way for a citizen to make a referendum, only political
parties with representatives can do it, but almost never no party does
them (5 in 30 years).


If it is not in the ideology, we just want it to be voted by everyone:
direct democracy.


For us, the ideology is the minimum layer necessary to have a healthy
democracy. For everything else, let people get informed and let them
decide upon it.

Kenneth
