Mr Robertshaw believes more public votes would improve democracy
A former MHK believes there needs to be a mechanism allowing members of the public to call for a referendum.
Chris Robertshaw is now a member of the Future Isle of Man campaign group, which is calling for improvements to how government functions ahead of next year's House of Keys General Election.
Last year the House of Keys backed calls to update the Island's referendum legislation, which dates back to 1979.
Mr Robertshaw said making it easier to hold a public vote on big issues would improve democracy:
DoI to change rent-setting model for public sector housing
Candidates could need to declare interests to stand in 2026 General Election
Customs and Excise office to relocate
Douglas man convicted in Island's 'most complex child abuse image investigation'
