That sounds terrifying really. You'd undoubtedly end up with people only bothering to vote for things they feel really passionately about, which usually falls on the wrong side of rationale.
- Karunamon 15y agoYou don't think that's how people vote anyways?
- davekinkead 15y agoWhat's more terrifying - Having no control over what your representatives vote on (except to vote them in or out) or having binding veto power? Too many people confuse direct democracy with majoritarianism. The same checks and balances that exists with representative democracy can also exist with the direct kind. The constitution & the courts can still limit popular will. One thing is for sure, there is no way SOPA like bills could pass with direct democracy or popular veto.
