Now we agree on something.

And if Minority or Coalition governments could/would act in the peoples best interests, rather then lobbyistic party agendas that fray into dissent, we'd really be on to something.

EDIT;

I'll have to look it up, but my impression of free votes was that it was in regard to House motions, that being that the Consevative MP's could vote outside the party line without fear of getting demoted or booted out of caucus, not to overide the Supreme Court.

Referendums, when asked of Harper on the CBC, was of my understanding something that took place after parliamentary hearings, committes etc,...but yeah,.. who wants a referendum every week.

But I do like the idea of overhauling the Supreme Court (not exclusively only the Supreme) to a degree. Once in a while something comes up and instead of upholding the laws as written, the Court takes it upon themselves to interpret the law as to what moral,social, or criminal intent is.
