> just as we cannot afford referendum on every polical proposal
OT: I think it's about time to end this myth. We have the internetz for a few decades and voting machines (supposedly to make it all simpler) yet somehow direct democracy is impossible and we "need" the democracy as done in the 19th century just because ... well, because no single government is willing to give power back.
Is it possible to have a referendum on every political proposal? Yes.
Is it done? No.
