Enter the text.
Keep a critical mind.
- The text distinguishes the ordinary exercise of power from revision of its architecture.
- It argues for a regulated citizens’ initiative rather than occasional recourse to a popular vote.
- Scrutiny should address thresholds, the protection of rights and the conditions for adversarial deliberation.
The discussion of Westminster and the electoral figures form part of the author’s argument. They do not replace examination of Mauritian law or verification of the data. The archive’s thresholds may differ from the Canon.
