I predict Lower.

Unrelated, but why I don't agree:

The systems which permit voting down stupid laws also permit voting down good laws. This is very "be careful what you wish for" and reductive to "the voter is always right even when they want stupid things" interpretation of democracy.

E.g. Swiss cantons opposing votes for women inside the last 2 decades.

Well, direct democracy already exists in various forms (e.g., referendums, propositions on California ballots, etc.). Sometimes bad decisions are made, but I wouldn’t call it a total disaster. Can it be improved through technical means? How much improvement would it take for it to be better than the status quo?

They don't have to be always right, just be right more often than a representative democracy.
