“…(2) connect those claims with reasons and weigh them against competing ones, in visible (Rummens, 2012) and recursive (Mansbridge, 2017) waysthat is, with systematic reflection back to claim makers and citizens more generally, in terms they themselves use; and (3) reach binding decisions or are directly consequential in ways that are subject to formal legitimation. These requirements can be described as 'plugging in deliberation'.…”

This paper does not ask to what degree referendums match deliberative democratic criteria, because no institution can. Instead, it asks what roles referendums can play in a deliberative system. It argues that referendums can play constructive roles not just as legitimating tools, but also by providing focusing events that generate salience for everyday narratives of collective life. It also argues that small-scale deliberative processes work better when they are focused on such collective decision making moments.

A comment on the democratic objection to constitutional review Th is article discusses Dimitrios Kyritsis' critique of the 'democratic objection' to constitutional review. Kyritsis performs a misguided comparison between legislatures and the judiciary regarding their institutional roles qua participants in a representative system. Th e mistake rests on his reliance on a conception of the "trustee/proxy" divide that overlooks that both categories are regulative ideals, not refl ections of how political practice operates. Such understanding of political representation, as well as of the corresponding institutional roles of courts and legislatures within a representative system, leads to a refutation of Kyritsis' argument that the democratic objection falls short of justifying the rejection of constitutional review. Aft er reconstructing Kyritsis' discussion of the democratic objection, his arguments are rejected based on a revision of the notion of political representation. Th e revision is then shown to directly aff ect the argument in favour of constitutional review.
