Synopsis

Direct voting on key issues is a measure of society's democratic maturity. "Forcing choice," says Patrick Boyer, shows that a nation respects the judgment of its people and that its government is prepared to heed their will, and it can strengthen the bond that unites a country. But, just as a general election, a referendum can be risky business.
