一次又一次的调查显示，直接民主明显受到欢迎，与之形成鲜明对比的是，公民越来越不参与政治。然而，由于大多数公民仍然致力于民主规范和原则，因此不满情绪上升的部分原因可能是“批判性公民”的期望增加。事实上，一些人认为，这种“不满意的民主人士”，即在抽象意义上支持民主，但在实践中对民主运作方式不满意的公民，据说要求更多的参与机会，因此可能是直接民主制度化和使用增加的原因。在这篇论文中，我使用欧洲社会调查第6轮，将公民的民主理想与他们对实际制度安排的评估结合起来，并将其与25个欧洲国家直接民主制度化和使用的数据结合起来。我提供的证据表明，公民确实对他们国家的直接民主制度化进行了有意义的评估。此外，我表明，批判的公民比其他公民有更直接的民主愿望，但这种差异
