        I’m not sure that holds without the CIA coming in to facilitate that in a relatively new democracy. If a large country with good institutions voted that way it would be a lot harder to pull off a military coup.

        Every system has to be enforced at some level. Even if it’s just the mobs. Having an unenforced system that doesn’t fall to bad faith actors will take a complete change of human psychology.
