Is political representation anachronistic? Wasn't it put in place when transportation and communication were both extremely difficult?
Haven't we moved beyond that? Doesn't everyone have a voice now? Doesn't everyone have a platform with which to express their opinion?
Imagine this situation: A bill is being proposed. A text/email is sent out to everyone. Everyone votes on the issue. The people are represented. Issue resolved. We wouldn't have to worry about lobbying (well, maybe they'd figure out a way to lobby the people. Advertisements?) as much as we do now when so many individuals would have to be targeted.
Pardon me if I'm being a bit too idealistic but I've grown a bit tired of people calling for dramatic revolutions. I don't think that'd help. Democracy is a nice thing, when it's actually a democracy. Individual representation is possible now. Sure, people will still get their panties in a bundle. But at least they were represented.
