How does the initiative process frustrate collective action?

What will be an ideal response?

Collective action generally requires compromise and bargaining in order for many people to work together to find solutions to their common problems. The initiative process thwarts compromise by allowing only one proposal to be submitted to voters for an up-or-down vote (a "take-it-or-leave-it" proposal), without any chance of changing it after it has qualified for the ballot or has been enacted. Opponents may have difficulty bankrolling a rival measure, or might have difficulty mounting an effective statewide campaign against a qualified measure because they lack resources.
