You can have a form of Direct Democracy that isn't mob rule, this is Direct Representation this is via Referendum and also giving the peoples the right to Veto legislation that they feel doesn't and/or wouldn't be good for the population in general.
There are nearly infinite forms of government that fit under the umbrella of "democracy".
A "Constitutional Republic", as the US is, is one of them.
More to illustrate that the EU and those who support it are against Democracy.
This is indicating violence, a violent suppression of a peoples right to Democracy and self-determination. The French need to STFU with their very unpopular little Dictator Macron who now has the lowest approval ratings of any French President of The Fifth Republic.
It is for this reason that I support the Catalans and their desire for self-determination, I do not agree with the politics of Catalonia which is Socialist, but I support their fight because this is a fight against the EU Dictatorship.

The EU one large Political Union, it should revert back to the EEC when it was only an Economic Trading Bloc.
