Direct Democracy Policy

Whereas:

Full Accountability, Accessibility, and Representation are essential elements of a democratic system of government. The current system and practice of government in Canada serves Canadians very poorly. The practice and experience of most political parties in Canada is of internal tyranny. There is a desire among CAP members that a method of operation in CAP/PAC be created to prevent sabotage, takeover, and tyranny.

Therefore:

The legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee and the Organization Committee will examine and consider policies of direct democracy including a Swiss style referendum system to govern CAP and Canada, and to make recommendations on the wording of a policy to be put to the CAP/PAC membership for vote by referendum.

Making Democracy Work

Canadian Action Party fully supports the need to introduce more open participatory democracy.
There are several proposals open for discussion. We believe that there are occasions when Canadians ought to be called on to assist in choosing the right plan for Canada. Referendum is one of those options. We are open to discussion on this subject.
