I wouldn't qualify it. I think referenda are a bad idea. They are undemocratic and a poor way of making decisions.

It makes no more sense to me than replacing juries with a public vote to determine the results of criminal trials.

The main purpose of referenda is to enable politicians to sidestep difficult decisions and avoid taking responsibility for the results that follow.
