Sounds like you're in dire need of a comprehensive legal reform... Of course, you won't get one - neither side will trust the other to get it "right," and putting something that important up for a referendum runs the risk of creating a tyranny of the majority.
(One of the good things about a three-or-more-party system is the "minority government," where no one party has a majority. Parties must cooperate with each other in order to do anything. Many of our best laws were enacted by minority governments, where the parties didn't have to trust each other - they were in there writing the legislation together.)

"Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose
them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
