There should be no reason why referenda shouldn't be more liberally applied to gather public opinion.
That's the message from MHK for Douglas West Chris Thomas - who says it would strengthen the Manx democratic process before bills are either cast off, or legislation is penned into law.
It works by government attaining a general vote by the electorate on a single political question - which has been referred to them to make a decision.
Mr Thomas told us how a referendum would be implemented here:
Filipino festival planned for Laxey
Glen Maye requisition meeting scheduled
Viking longboat races today
Postal vote applications have to be in soon
Mum launches petition over university support
Bus services north and south face disruption later
Wildlife Trust unveils woodland plans
