Should we have referendums more regularly to make political decisions?

Introduction: Define referenda
Arguments for:They can be used to decide issues in a way that general elections cannot.A referendum leads to a debate which can involve the general public and educate them about the issue.Referendums act as a check on Governments and ensure that key changes only take place with popular support. 
Arguments against:Referendums may undermine Parliamentary democracy and make it seem less relevant.Referendums may be about issues that involve complex considerations and these become oversimplified as a result of the need to have a simple question and the campaign may not bring out the complexities.There may be unequal resources between the opposing campaigns in a referendum so that the arguments of one side become submerged.
Conclusion: Weigh up all the arguments you have given and come to a conclusion on which is your strongest argument - do not sit on the fence.
