I think we need a third option in Referendums: the "yeah, nah" vote. For people who agree with the general idea, but not the specific version presented. If the yes and the "yeah, nah" vote combined equal a majority, there should be a compulsory period of community consultation to come up with a better proposal to go back for another vote. Or just a preferencial system where more than one choice is presented in the first place.

@RustyRaven @Seagoon_ seriously tho, a constitutional amendment to allow constitutional amendments to be other than just yes/no
