I absolutely think it's necessary to consult the people. I'm outraged that our government sends military aid to US/Israel in hte form of f45 bombers. I do not want my taxes going to death and destruction and it is always we, the people, who suffer. Fuck war.
I understand the dynamics and pains, but you know, the reality is that in times of war, it is difficult to make a wide consultation.
The executive and the legislative arms will always be the ones to decide.
It might not even go down to the constituencies. Now tell me, do you think such arrangement can give such allowance for referendum in times of war.
You are lucky to some extent, our taxes are robbed before our own very eyes and still would not amount to any reasonable basic life saving amenities.

En realidad, el problema esta en el tipo de líderes que escogemos. Suiza lleva sin verse involucrada en ninguna guerra desde 1847 y garantizó la seguridad de sus ciudadanos. Por lo que ellos demuestran que sí es posible vivir sin guerras durante periodos prolongados. Ahora, si creara un sistema que evalue la competencias y capacidades de los liíderes de antes llegar al poder, como hacemos con los médicos, pilotos y abogados, allí si se podrían filtrar el acceso al poder de los lideres tóxicos que generan conflictos. El referedum no debería ser sobre la guerra si no el tipo de líderazgo que nos lleve a una paz duradera. Pero, en cambio, elegimos psicopatas y sociopatas y ese es el resultado.
Woah, this is amazing. Since 1847?
Interesting. I agree with you, and we are the ones that chose these leaders or rather elect them.
Maybe other leaders need to study what and their approach to resolving issues to enable them design an approach to settlement of conflicts instead of allowing it to degenerate to wars.
We need peace more than ever.
