This doesn't seem to work very well in the places that use it (like California). Voters' lack of information about policy specifics becomes an even bigger problem, and a lot of poorly drafted legislation gets passed by initiative.
California may not be a good example since under the California system it is difficult to repeal legislation passed by initiative.
