Citizens have to organize themselves and propose bills - than they have to get enough citizen to support the bill before the bill is put for a national vote.

That’s a very good question, and it’s the problem I have with proposals for direct democracy / citizen initiative. The answer, I think, is that they will be written by well funded interest groups.
