My thoughts here. I'd prefer complete self governance; but if we have to do the collectivist dance, this is the best tune.

I remember this post. A very interesting perspective on referendums. I loved the supernatural gifs.

The trade offs could work better than the standard 'Yes' vs 'No' referendums we have. There is at least a possibility of a win-win rather than a win-lose outcome. It might even be possible to model a few hypothetical examples to determine a hypothetical net effort to different groups.

It'd never happen. Those with power don't see any reason to give it up.
Fun to think about though, right?
