The majority of Albertans are not impressed with our antiquated wasteful undemocratic broken political system and they want serious changes made to put democratic power in the hands of the people outside of elections. To upgrade our political system in Alberta, Premier Smith is called upon by the Legalize Real Democracy Party to hold 2 binding referendums to facilitate the legalization of real democracy in Alberta in order to create the change Albertans want in our political system. The legalization of real democracy requires the consent of the people since the MLAs refuse to enact it.
To begin the process to legalize real democracy in Alberta with the consent of the people the following 2 referendum questions are required at the next election:
One referendum question would ask Albertans if they want the legalized right to introduce government bills (that can not be refused by the MLAs).
A second referendum question would ask Albertans if they want the legalized right to vote on government bills.
The majority of Albertans would like to have the freedom of choice and right to vote on bills that interest them.
If Albertans voted yes to both of these binding referendum questions, the government would then be required to assist in a made in Alberta democratic process to enact these great democratic upgrades.
This is the formula to create a legalized real democracy in Alberta that a yes vote to the referendum questions would create:
Legalize your right to introduce government bills (which can not be refused by MLAs)
Legalized right to vote on government bills by the people
=
Legalized real democracy for Albertans
If the people voted yes in these 2 referendums, this would create a much more accountable and transparent government that would better keep all the MLAs in check and ensure better government representation by the people for the people. The politicians would keep doing what they do. The people would basically act as a second sober thought senate. Legalizing real democracy would allow the people to fix the problems that the politicians have created such as the declining health care system, excessive student debt, homelessness, unfair taxes, the wage gap between men and women and so much more.
Across the entire spectrum of political viewpoints, the same public desire to have the voices of the people heard outside of elections with the legalization of real democracy, where people have the legalized right to introduce and vote on government bills, is deafening.
If the Premier and MLAs in the Legislative Assembly refuse to push the 2 referendum questions on legalizing the right of people to introduce and vote on bills, they will demonstrate that they are completely anti-democratic, out of touch with Albertans wants.
If Premier Smith allows these 2 referendums to go forward at the next election, she will demonstrate that she is a champion for more rights and freedoms for Albertans with the legalization of real democracy. This will greatly improve her chances of winning a majority government in the next election and potentially create a great place for her in history. The time is now for Premier Smith to act for the mother of all democracy upgrades in Alberta.
The Legalize Real Democracy Party (LRDP) calls on all party leaders to demonstrate their resolve to work with all Albertans by Legalizing Real Democracy.
