Would you like more direct democracy?

"Direct democracy" is a political buzzword that is often used. The FPÖ in particular keeps throwing it around. More political say is certainly something that sounds good at first and you can cite Switzerland as an example here. There, this is done by means of votes, popular initiatives and referendums. Could you imagine the same for Austria?

What exactly do you personally understand by "direct democracy"? Do you think that a model similar to that in Switzerland could be transferred to Austria and do you think it would make sense in principle? What would you like to vote on in Austria? We look forward to hearing your views on this topic!
