Here's my wager: the informed will of the people would never pass laws that violate fundamental properties of liberty and equality. Thus, any law that violates them is necessarily undemocratic, because it would go contrary to the informed will of the people. Emphasis on informed. I wouldn't trust a surprise referendum. I would trust a process where we first gather a congress of 300 randos, let them reflect on the issue for a few weeks or months, then let them explain their conclusions and decisions on national television for a couple weeks, and then do the referendum. I mean, if this process actually results in laws that violate the fundamental principles we might as well just give up and let the world burn.
