		<description>Sir

You have a total misunderstanding for CIR

1) There is no such mechanism as BCIR

2) CIR by definition is when an issue is put to the popular vote, vote thus taken. This simply means that the outcome of the CIR is the decision.

The gov&#039;t referenda bill is an abuse and a misnamed poll bill

I put in a submission to the gov&#039;t bill and appeared at parliament to speak to it. At the invitation of the National Party I spoke in support of CIR in a debate forum. 

I support referenda, veto and recall. It is ideal to have all three.

You mention minorities. You may be one. You lack a faith in human nature. CIR is not used to attack minotities. See Switzerland.

Sincerely
