I just think it would be good to take the temperature of that with the population and see if they think it should be fully replaced, reduced, changed or scrapped.

Instead of the Politicians arguing on this, just ask those who they ask support from in the first place,outside of a general election.

I actually do think this is a very suitible referendum question, given that it is replaced every 25 YEARS (five times each parliamentary term) meaning it ultimately depends on who is elected at the time, which is unfair and undemocratic. A direct referendum on this would be the best way to decide by far.
