Why do we need a legislative body when we have the web?

All we need is a sufficiently secure password system to make sure nobody votes but once, and every piece of proposed legislation could be subjected to a referendum.

You would need some constitutional safeguards, of course. Probably be a good idea to provide that any new law needed considerably more than a simple majority to enact, but repeal of any existing law needed less than a majority...
