Demonstrates what Direct Democracy can influence

How to get rid of useless Governments, Politicians?

That is the question asked by many unhappy citizens - not only in dictatorships but also in most democracies.
There is of course no perfect solution, as there is no perfect democracy.
But giving the electorate to initiate recall referendums would be a step in the right direction. There would have to be stringent regulations to prevent abuse, a quorum to have a referendum held, then a high hurdle rate of support, maybe two thirds of those in support.
Better still to prevent the need for a recall to arise in the first place.
Direct Democracy on all levels of government would ensure that all political decisions are debated properly and individual politicians are forced to take a measured approach to governing. 
The threat of having all decisions to be subject to the scrutiny by the electorate would prevent any extreme, hasty or one-sided decisionmaking.

Blob stifles free Debate

"GB News has been found in breach of impartiality rules over a “Don’t Kill Cash” campaign, marking its fifth reprimand by Ofcom this year.

The regulator on Monday censured GB News over the branded campaign, which lobbied the Government to prevent the UK from becoming a cashless society.
The campaign urged viewers to sign a petition calling for new legislation to protect the status of cash as legal tender and as a widely accepted means of payment until at least 2050" (Daily Telegraph)

COMMENT: This attack on free speech is a demonstration how the will of citizens is undermined by the undemocratic rule of factions, lobbies and unelected officials.  All 'Free Countries' operate tight controls over the Television Channels arguing that they have to promote unbiased programming. But by doing so they actually bend the discourse in a direction that is favorable to the interests of those ruling over us and stifle the full and open debate of issues that concern the Citizens.

SOLUTION: Introduce Direct Democracy on all levels of Government

You will be able to repeal undemocratic laws and regulations!

 All too often the silent majority just shrugs the shoulders and accepts that laws are imposed that they do not agree with. But what most people, including media and other commentators, overlook is the simple fact that in a system of Direct Democracy it will be as easy to launch a campaign to repeal such laws as it was to impose them. 

Of course there will have to be safeguards and one can expect that the number of vexious or outright bad laws that are making it through the legislative process will be much diminished as public opposition can no longer be disregarded.
