The more people an elected official is supposed to represent equates to the exact inverse of the level of representation for that particular population. It is a simple to see that the smaller the group a representative represents, the more likely his representation will be accurate to the whole. As well, as the group grows ever bigger, how are we to trust the representatives when you don't know them? Obviously, this type of system has serious flaws and creates an illusion of fair representation.
I propose we eliminate the need to elect 'leaders' or 'representatives'... that is so out-dated and only legitimizes power done by evil-doers. The current system mimics the hierarchical systems of past based on religion and totalitarianism, and has emerged as a cesspool for the rich and powerful to conspire against its own people.
With technology today, let all the people vote on the issues via internet (mobile apps) - why delegate your most important democratic quality to some scumbag who you don't trust. Reminder that participating, not voting, is your most valuable contribution.
This means no more parties. No more greedy, charismatic, political figureheads. People will vote on the issues, and not vote on people to decide the issues for them. People would have the opportunity to participate in their own government everyday. Now tell me that ain't freedom!
This is our destiny as a free people..
