I oppose direct democracy because you can't expect voters to make informed decisions on every issue and they are often swayed by fear-mongering-style campaigning. Just imagine if America had a national referendum on abortion, do we expect most people to listen to the facts or vote based on pre-conceived notions.

Ahh, so you don't trust the people? You think you're better than them? I see how it is...

Get 'im, boys. Sunglasses
