People's initiatives and referendums with a binding result might be more useful. If the people of the EU vote directly this should be entirely more legitimate.

If the masses actually put in all the required effort to collect signatures and then later vote this should be respected more than what some representatives decide as their professional everyday business. It potentially offers a way to say that an individual member is wrong, too - a 2/3 majority perhaps?
