Comment
There are no provisions for citizens’ initiativesin the legislation of the country.>> this is wrong. the citizens' legislative initiative right exists. Read chapters in C. Leston-bandeira, Parliaments and Citizens, Routlege, 2015.
Also, you're not defining your citizens' legislative initiative correctly. you're mixing two things: the right to initiate legislation and the right to vote directly in it (referendum).
