DIRECT ECONOMIC (EMPIRICAL) DEMOCRACY

If we are to use representatives at all, they should be chosen by lot for a single year, and held accountable for their actions by rule of law.

As far as I can tell, direct economic democracy either by proportion or by equal share, where one’s votes may NOT be proxied, will produce (a) the most educated and aware population, and (b) the least corrupt government, as long as (c) all statements must be ‘scientifically’ truthful by the terms i’ve defined elsewhere.

The dominance of single houses independent of classes the dominance of parties, the use of representatives, and the cheapness of lobbying representatives rather than the voters, are all malincentives.
