I don't think that as a nation we are informed enough. That's why government in this country has always been by consensus. In this country referendu have caused more division and unrest than anything else in my lifetime.

You would have to do a lot more to educate and explain to people the costs and benefits of the options.

I also think it should be made absolutely clear whether it is binding, it should based on no change being made without a super-majority result either way (say at least 66%) and the proponents should fully cost the options. So if you have a referendum on whether every household gets a pig, the funding for that is clearly shown in the voting options (option 1: pig but higher taxes to pay for it, option 2: pig but cut health spending to pay for it, option 3 no pig) .
