Calls for a yet to be defined referendum are snowballing.

In seeking to alleviate the burden of taxation on the common man by cauterizing the leeches that suck the lifeline out of the national kitty, the motivation for the first group is altruistic. By reducing the number of MPs to less than 200; doing away with superfluous positions like Cabinet Administrative Secretaries, nominated MPs, MCAs and Woman Representatives among others, a sizeable chunk of the money that goes to pay wasted salaries and perks to these pseudo-workers can be put elsewhere.
