  1. They only like democracy when they agree with the voters. I personally fear referenda, generally, because the people's eyes are always bigger than their stomachs. For instance, Californians correctly voted a referendum limiting tax hikes. But at the same time, they voted for lavish state programs. People want the programs, but they don't want to pay for them. This is always true. A big flaw in democracy. This is why democracies eventually commit suicide, as history shows. People need to be smart enough not to fall for voting themselves a living. That being said, you can't argue with a referendum, once it's been passed. Well, you can ARGUE against it, but you're obliged to follow the express will of the people. Personally, I like the 2/3 thing. Can't change anything unless 2/3 of the people support it. Otherwise, things remain the same. You absolutely can't oppose a 2/3 majority. Just make sure that guarantees of individual rights are written into the law before you make a 2/3 threshold to make changes!
