HomeParliaments

House parliaments are meetings where an issue is debated. They take place where opinions are formed: at home over a meal with family, during conversations with friends and acquaintances in a café, at a local pub, or in the park. With house parliaments, we want to make the exchange of opinions and discussions an integral part of referendums.
