Tell me, does the US have referenda at the Federal Level? What's that you say...no? And why doesn't the US have referenda at the federal level? Might it be that you can't expect people to be informed of every nuance of political legislation and also carry on with their own lives too?
Anti-democratic you say, neither you or I live in a Democracy, we live in a Constitutional Republic whose business is executed by elected representatives, that's why you send people to the US Congress, I send TD's to Dail Eireann and we both send Senators to our respective Senate.
This anti-democratic liberalism nonsense is just that nonsense.
