Preston Manning has prominently advocated on many occasions that many more 
decisions be decided by referendum, such as abortion and capital punishment.  
His opponents have argued that this approach will only lead to uninformed and 
emotionally based decisions by the masses.

Should Canada adopt more government by referendum?

I am interested in your comments, either for or against, for research purposes.

Thank you in advance!

Chris.
