I.e. "direct democracy"? I feel that it is time what with technology and levels of education to begin experimenting much more with these. We as liberals believe strongly in the ability and right of the population to govern themselves do we not? Well what better way to achieve this than by attempting to get around the "middle men (and women)" called politicians. How do we do this? Of course through referenda! Let the populace vote on the ISSUES themselves (at least start out with a few very major and well-known policy options). This, to me, will help greatly make people feel more connected with their state , empowered, loyal, and will reduce at least the perception that "politics is all corrupt and phony".
