Plebiscitary Democracy

Plebiscitary democracy is a political system where citizens directly vote on specific issues or policies, rather than just electing representatives to make decisions for them. This approach emphasizes the will of the people by allowing them to express their opinions on important matters through referendums or plebiscites. While it can enhance political participation and legitimacy, critics argue that it may lead to populism or oversimplification of complex issues, as voters may not always have the expertise required to make informed choices. Ultimately, plebiscitary democracy seeks to empower citizens in the decision-making process.
