Why don't we have them anymore?
I personally think they should happen every 3-6 months and deal with the nation's 'hottest topics' (not worked out how to determine that bit yet though!). And the result should be binding. After all isn't that what democracy means?
But if i were in governement, i'd want to know what my constituents felt/wanted etc.
In the present system, the politicians say they'll do things we want doing in their manifesto, they get in power, then they don't do the things they promised, and never listen to us again.
