Hmm, reading up on direct democracy (DD) it seems it's not actually a good idea. Switzerland uses double majority to deal with the failings of DD. Pretty much as if in the US the congress was a DD, but the senate still existed (or if GB parliment was DD, but it kept the house of lords).
So yea, GT was right. DD is theoretical, and any culture that got close to implementing it had severe government issues due to DD's failings.
