Claude: To introduce greater public accountability into French foreign-policy decisions, France should hold referenda on major foreign-policy issues. ████████ ███████ ███ ███ █████████ ██ █████ ██ █ ████████ █████ █████████ ███ ███████ ██ ████████ ███████

Summarize Argument
Lorraine concludes that introducing referenda for French foreign-policy decisions would lead to disaster. Her premise is that the general public cannot or will not become well-informed on foreign policy.
Notable Assumptions
Lorraine assumes that people will not become more willing or able to learn about foreign policy after the referenda are introduced. This isn't necessarily true. People might become more interested in learning about foreign policy once the referenda are introduced, or summaries of the issues could be released prior to each referendum. By Lorraine's logic, this would make the referenda less likely to lead to disaster.
