This book provides a novel argument in favor of direct legislation by the people, which would combine elements of representative democracy with direct government. Representative institutions are valuable, argues the author, but often fail in their aim of giving citizens a voice in policymaking. The author traces the historical development of democracy from antiquity to the present day and argues that direct citizen involvement is more democratic than the dominance of partisan politics and unaccountable professional politicians. This book suggests a path forward for electoral reform that does not abandon representative institutions but seeks to improve them through popular engagement. By reviewing the history and mechanics of direct legislation, the author presents an alternative to the current political realities that many voters find alienating and dispiriting.
