I made absolutely no allusion to what the outcome of such a vote would be, Livia. I have no automatic assumption that it would go "my way". I still think it would be far more likely to result in a meaningful (deliberated, not media-lead) outcome.

Then again I also believe that we should have an elected meritocracy, with only people who are at the absolute top of their field even allowed to run for government positions in the first place. Instead of the relentless cronyism we're currently stuck with, that places slack-jawed inbreds at the head of almost every government branch...
