Oh…err…maybe not.
@larand If the polis' decision is not enacted (it hasn’t been and won’t be), it’s not direct democracy.
Cameron was not required to stand up to 'eurosceptics'; he was required to win over U.K.I.P. voters, so cowardice has nothing to do with it.
The idea that all subsequent developments are purely the result of a divided party is very quaint. In truth, it's painfully parapolitical because it is relevant to the post-war aims for a new world order.

@matigo It doesn’t matter whether it’s representative or direct. You still end up with careerist stiffs infected with institutional imperatives. Direct democracy through something like a rotating jury system would be better but that still leaves other problems…like how do you get rid of exploitative lobbying while retaining reasonable lobbying?
