Some US states allow citizen initiative so we could ban something similar in our state constitution. For some reason we haven't done this. Does the EU have a citizen referendum, a way to update the charter, or any law that would prevent a defeated piece of legislation from being attempted over and over? Perhaps we should introduce a law to publish every politicians text messages publicly. When it fails, we'll just submit it over and over again.
