In a two party system referenda are used to silence the parliament. They are favoured by dictators as well. They are considered absolute and final even though they are usually just a binary choice.
The law that allowed them here has been scrapped and they are no longer possible. It is a terrible device that circumvents the purpose of parliament. It has no place in a democracy which is why it is still used in the UK.
