TO GET A REFERENDUM ON THE BREXIT TERMS
(or about any important public issue)
WE MUST LOUDLY DEMAND A REFERENDUM!
We people of the UK have NO right to obtain a national referendum on demand. Until this deficit of our democracy has been removed by effective reform, as in feudal times we must beg our politicians to allow us a ballot on an important matter of state such as "brexit".
Formally, only Parliament can enable a referendum by passing a special law. So, to promote proposals for a referendum on the brexit terms, we must contact and try to persuade our own constituency MPs in addition to lobbying government and trying to raise broad public support.
Every small action can help, for instance re-tweet* https://twitter.com/yourballot/status/954015384126066688 and spread this e-mail appeal in social media and to all your contacts.

Summary
Referendum on the Brexit "deal"
Hold a referendum on the Brexit "deal", the negotiated terms for leaving the EU. This is the aim of a bill put forward by MPs in Parliament. Plenty of time is left to think it over, to debate and lobby.
If you wish to reject or support this proposal then you should contact your MP and also if possible promote your point of view widely, https://www.theyworkforyou.com/mps/
In this bill the "terms" or "deal" for leaving the EU are called the "exit package".
**In Parliament the Next Event will be the second "Reading" of the bill on 23 February 2018.
On the proposed ballot paper will appear two choices, only one of these may be marked with a cross, they are:
Support the Government’s proposed exit package (ed. and leave the EU).
Remain a member of the European Union.

Reader's comment:
England is a Constitutional Monarchy, with adversarial politics and law.Iniref replied:
Constitutional law like other law can be made and changed by a majority of one vote in the UK parliament. We propose that a bill be introduced to enable some "tools" of direct democracy, such as the citizens' veto and the citizen launched referendum.
