The benecificaries and lovers of Representative Democracy (RD) would not concede to the benefits of DD. They would defend RD by all means, fair or foul.

Dear  Eric, the perils of DD are far less than the perils of Representative democracy. Many representatives vote a party ticket or with their personal wallet in consideration. Minority groups became controlling [see party's, corporations, elite.] and serve only their own interests. Lobby's rule many representatives see ALEC http://goo.gl/KEWIh . People's referendum can bring a balance.

Thank you for your link. The Economist article is an anti-DD propaganda using California's problems to arouse anti-DD sentiments in the readers. The heading and the sub-heading say all:

"The perils of extreme democracy

California offers a warning to voters all over the world"


Do note that it is not talking about the incompetent of the California voters only. It is warning the voters of the world about "the peril of extreme democracy (DD)".

I don't think this is a ferocious attack on DD-in-general as much as an
attack on California-style DD.

Too bad the article does not mention
