(Before It's News)

….with the Referendum in their hands (especially with the Initiative added to it) the will of the people is always present.   The people can hasten legislation where it moves slowly. They can retard it where it presses too fast ahead.   They themselves can make the pace. And the effect on themselves is that,   with this added responsibility, they take a quick interest in their own concerns. In the first place they break up the power of political organisations;   and in the second place they themselves become alert and educated citizens,   responsible and intelligent guiders of their own destinies.
~ Darrell Figgis, The Irish Constitution Explained, 1922
