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:
Rapists's appeal against sentence thrown out
Last chance to become next TT's charity partner
No gas price hike after regulator review
Cafe hits back after staff abused
Online appointments being considered by sexual health clinic
Treasury can’t say how much is made from medicinal cannabis
Road closures planned for tin baths this weekend
DOI has no junction safety concerns over Iceland plans
