The Direct Democracy Movement

The Direct Democracy Movement is a political approach that emphasizes giving citizens more power to make decisions directly, rather than through elected representatives. It involves mechanisms like referendums and initiatives, allowing people to propose, approve, or reject laws and policies directly. This approach aims to increase public participation, transparency, and accountability in governance, fostering greater engagement in the democratic process. It is often seen as a way to balance representative democracy by empowering citizens to have a direct say in important issues affecting their lives and society.
