Well then we will enter the era of constant populism. And politicians having permanently to validate everything against an every shifting public opinion. We will be rules by the press then, by clickbait headlines and populistic extremes I fear.

I do not believe, that people are able to vote for the longer term greater good if they are able to vote for everything in an instant.

Switz and Icelanders were able to pull it, did not they?

Of course this is a skill and it will be acquired for some time. After that, we don't even need politicians that much.

I'll try constant populism because today we live in the era of constant oppression.

Generally, populism implies oppression of the unpopular.
