In political science, an initiative (also known as a popular or citizens' initiative) is a means by which a petition signed by a certain minimum number of registered voters can force a public vote (plebiscite).
The initiative may take the form of a indirect initiative or an direct initiative. In a direct initiative, a measure is put directly to a vote after being submitted by a petition. In an indirect initiative, a measure is first referred to the legislature, and then put to a popular vote only if not enacted by the legislature.
The vote may be on a proposed statute, constitutional amendment, charter amendment or local ordinance, or to simply oblige the executive or legislature to consider the subject by submitting it to the order of the day. It is a form of direct democracy.
The Canadian province of British Columbia has a citizen initiative law known as the Recall and Initiative Act. The original proposal was put to voters in a referendum held in October 1991 and was supported by over 83% of voters. It was subsequently put into force by the incoming NDP government. Since it came into force in 1995, several attempts have been made to hold an initiative, but until the fall of 2010, none had succeeded in reaching the first of the thresholds – namely, securing signatures of 10% of registered voters in each riding throughout British Columbia. The first referendum was held under this legislation on September 2011 on the subject of repealing the Harmonized Sales Tax. Details of its use in BC are available on the Elections BC website.

Einen ökologischen Fussabdruck von einer Erde: Das fordert die Initiative «Grüne Wirtschaft». Und: Das Ziel soll bis 2050 erreicht sein. Zu schnell und zu viel, monieren die Gegner. Ausserdem leisteten die Wirtschaft und die Schweiz heute schon gute Arbeit in Sachen Umweltschutz. Der Lebensstil der Schweizer Bevölkerung benötigt viele Ressourcen. Wird er auf die gesamte Weltbevölkerung hochgerechnet, bräuchte die Schweiz laut Berechnungen Rohstoffe und Ressourcen von über drei Erden. Die Initianten der «Grünen Wirtschaft» sehen ihr Begehren – den Schweizer Ressourcen-Verbrauch bis 2050 auf eine Erde zu beschränken – als Chance. Die Schweiz könne so ihre Spitzenposition in Sachen umweltfreundliche Innovation und Umweltschutz wieder zurückerlangen. Die Gegner hingegen sagen, dass die Schw...
