    What you’re describing is a dictatorship, which is neither democracy nor populism. Populism is not a solution a dictatorship either.

    Where an overwhelming majority in rural areas disagree with an overwhelming majority in urban areas on an issue, the democratic approach calls for that issue to be removed from that higher level of government, and leave it to be decided at a lower level.
