Clever ways for getting reforms done

If the difficulties in reforms for the good of the majority are the minority losers intensive lobbies at the expense of the silent majority, then it seems the experience of the Stockholm referendum may prove to be a successful strategy, that is, to have a referendum on a major reform, so the majority have their says heard. A referendum would neutralise lousy minority's disproportionate influence through lobbies.

Of course the method from the Vancouver experience with carbon tax is also a very good approach, particularly its revenue neutrality and linking any misuse of the carbon tax with the minister's pay cuts as a penalty is excellent.
