Si la voluntad del pueblo se expresa a través de sus representantes y este es el fundamento último de las democracias representativas, la lógica consecuencia es que los depositarios últimos de esa voluntad general puedan manifestar un sentimiento contrario a aquel que, sobre una cuestión concreta, han manifestado en su nombre esos representantes. El referendo constituye, pues, el complemento necesario que refuerza el fundamento último de la representación. No obstante, los beneficios que pueden surgir del referendo como un complemento de la democracia representativa se materializan solo si los procedimientos están bien diseñados y garantizan la información y la transparencia a los ciudadanos. La regulación del referendo y la iniciativa popular que en el derecho comparado se ha realizado y las consecuencias prácticas que ha tenido dicha regulación pueden constituir un buen marco de referencia para una adecuada regulación del referendo en España.2016text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=5769355(Revista) ISSN 0211-5743Revista española de derecho constitucional, ISSN 0211-5743, Año nº 36, Nº 108, 2016, pags. 123-153spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.

The defense of referendum as a counterbalancing and monitoring instrument over Parliament’s power is consistent from the very theory of representative democracy. If the will of the people is expressed through their representatives and this is the ultimate foundation of representative democracies, the logical consequence is that people will be able to show sentiment against the will, on a specific issue, expressed by representatives on behalf of the people. Then the referendum is the corollary that reinforces the ultimate basis of representation.
However, the advantages that can arise from the referendum as a complement of representative democracy materialize only if the procedures are well designed and ensure information and transparency for citizens. The regulation of the referendum and the popular initiative in comparative law and the practical consequences that has had such regulation may provide a framework for a proper regulation of the referendum in Spain.
