But if the elites decide to reintroduce slavery and a referendum was against it I would support the voters over the elites.

If we let the elites decide big things we can can be reduced to menial, dependent labors without any say and have our work conditions averaged with Mexico and China rather than bringing their standards up to our current level - that's best for the elites. It's nothing close to slavery but it's pretty sucky for the workers while best for the elites and it's the road we're on because the elites control things. Ignoring voters in this situation is not healthy - Trump is only where he is because voters feel ignored by the elites.
