As a grassroot movement could be initiated with a referendum by people.
They have to collect a certain amount of valid signature to do this. A disorganized group however has less chance to do so. They also need to send their message to wider audience so people will know what's this about. As a first step it could be about direct democracy in their locality. They could face considerable amount of bureaucratic headwind since it means ending the politician profession. Some live very comfortable doing nothing but acting important as politicians do. They won't like this. Also there or powers (for example lobby groups) who enjoy the simplicity of having certain politicians in their pockets who does what told. They just need to own couple of key figures, as the bottlenecks of exercising governing power. They won't like this either.
Direct governing also has it's own problems. Many people feel they just want to work their 8(+) hours daily and then leave them alone. They don't want to bother with getting informed about current issues and making up their minds on their stance on it. It could be a bother to go vote on every other day, but we possess the knowledge and possibility to do all that electronically now, so it could be done with less hassle. (But we all know that the politicians in power would use this as an excuse to block the initiative, claiming it's too expensive to build the infrastructure, and even if we would manage to go through them, the thing would be made poorly and even more expensive - most of the cost would wander into the pockets of the politicians.)
