Pursuant to my privileges as a citizen who voted in the last election and Article IV, Section 4-6 of the Fundamental Laws, I present this petition.

Preamble
The Wintrean Legislature has a long history of ambivalence towards it, but there is very little concrete evidence of people's feelings one way or another. It is my view that it is time to remedy this.

Reasoning
This initiative is intended to serve as a de-facto referendum wherein citizens may weigh in on the utility of the UH as an institution of our government. This is not intended as an immediate lead-in to a constitutional referendum - rather, this is merely intended as a gauge of public opinion. If the overall opinion is against the UH - it's clearly time for a more serious discussion. If it is for the UH - clearly I'm mistaken. But either way, there is very little clear evidence of people's perspectives on the UH - and this initiative is intended to remedy that.

Goals of This Initiative
Since any initiatives are inherently nonbinding, this is not intended as a means of achieving action - rather, this is intended as a means of ascertaining the overall public mood towards the Underhusen as an institution, and provide justification for either its continued existence, or the basis for a serious regional conversation about changes which can be made to make the institution more relevant, up to and including its complete demolition.

Ballot Format of This Initiative
In your experience as a Wintrean, is the Underhusen in its current form a useful or valuable institution to you?
(Yes/No)

So signed,
Doc and Other Signatories

Number of Signatures: 1/6

I'll sign it.

This petition would require 6 signatures to be placed on the next election. Because the current election has already started, if this petition were to get enough signatures it would be placed in August's election instead.
