  Alright, Roger, so I have to return to the thread! I believe in the ideal of a local referendum on an important local issue, and a national referendum on an important national issue. And that a proposal should be presented and publicly debated, with the possibility for other proposals on the same issue to be debated too, before proceeding to the vote.
  Yet, it would seem unrealistic for Dover's community to actually administer the Port by way of local periodic decrees once a new status has been defined by Act of Parliament. One would expect an administering board, such as DHB, to administer the Port for technical reasons.
  The issue that is actually at the core of the ongoing consultaions re. Dover Port is whether the People of Dover agree to the privatisation of our Port, and if we would like to see some Port revenue coming into the Town, not whether we should cough up tenners and have the priviledge of collectively sitting down and decreeing the Port's daily administration.
