This book argues that introducing elements of Direct Legislation empower citizens and curb corruption in governance. The author draws on case studies from Switzerland, US states like Oregon, and historical examples to demonstrate the efficacy of tools like the Initiative and Referendum. The text not only examines how the Referendum improves lawmaking, but also how the Initiative can empower citizens by giving them direct channels to enact laws their representatives refuse to. The author makes a persuasive case for the expansion of Direct Legislation as he asserts these measures add an important check on the powers of elected officials, making governments more accountable and responsive to the will of the people.
