Referendum threshold quorum

It now seems clear that we need to alter the rules of the referendum.
First you must establish a threshold of valid signatures required is such that, firstly, to ensure that even small movements of opinion to be able to organize to demand a referendum, and, secondly, that a threshold is able to avoid unnecessary expensive and unrealistic ambition of factions frantic.
Such a compromise is not easy to find simply by establishing a number rather than a more valid signatures.
Much more logical is to ensure that the signatures collected are truly representative, on a national scale, some application or need.
To this end, we could establish that the signatures should be collected in all regions of the country and must reach a certain threshold in most regions.
In this way one could be sure that the question be proposed to be truly known and shared by at least a proportion of the population.
The other aspect is that the quorum of the votes, or rather, the valid responses obtained. Surely
here as well as for the election, the quorum should never be raised by 80% the percentage of claimants in order to ensure that the decision resulted from the referendum itself has been taken, which goes wrong, at least 40% right holders, or by a majority plus one of them.
Knowing in advance that the quorum will be so 'high, will cause people to think twice before affixing his signature to make sure that the referendum is held.
And once the overall threshold for admission to the polls, all citizens, being mindful of the quorum, they will go to vote en masse, whether they belong to the favorable to the contrary.
With favorable, the complaint is easy to understand: the desire that the purpose of the referendum to take effect.
To the contrary, the reason, almost as exciting, is that the desired effect is removed from the referendum itself.
indifferent Only then, will refrain from attending the polls, but these should be a small minority, if the regional thresholds have been exceeded, because the same would have to demonstrate, with sufficient accuracy, the real interest for the proposed question.
