Initiatives almost never offer compromise positions. They are, by their very nature, extremist responses. If they weren't, they wouldn't gather the signatures necessary to make the ballot because they wouldn't gather enough attention. Initiatives are also limited in scope and can't contain solutions that are more complex because that's beyond their legal scope. Initiatives are supposed to be single subject, with a very narrow solution to offer.
More complex solutions are supposed to come from our legislators, which is why we have them. Legislation involves negotiation and ought to result in compromise and better solutions.Too often right now, legislators are tied to taking positions that are more extreme and are less willing to compromise because when they don't, they get threatened by those on the extremes with primary challenges or initiatives to overturn what they've done. Contests become more about winning than governing. Eyman doesn't care in the least about governing because he doesn't have to. He only has to care about winning.
