Bentham would agree with it as long as it is utilitarian, serving the greatest good to the greatest number of people, and screw the others. If the initiative services a minority rather than majority in population, then he would be against it.
Hobbes believes in a single sovereign power and upholding that because to not support that is to divide it, and with division comes the ruin of a society. In the Leviathan Hobbes says, " There is (another) doctrine, plainly, and directly against the essence of a commonwealth; and that is, that the sovereign power may be divided. For what it is to divide the power of a commonwealth, but to dissolve it; for powers divided mutually destroy eac other..."
So, in brief, I'd suggest Bentham would be for it, and Hobbes against.
