A winner-take-all electoral system concentrates power and enables winners to sell influence. If I could hire whichever representative I want to exercise my vote in the legislature and fire him whenever I want, chances are I will have a representative that follows my wishes. How would a collective decision making system work if you were designing it from scratch? Would it look anything like the American system? No, I think it would be more like a parliamentary system using proportional representation. But even that falls far short of what we could accomplish with modern technology. Its also worth pointing out that the Founders did not set up elections for both houses of Congress. The Senate was appointed by the governors of the states. After that was changed, it became easier to buy influence. And easier to centralize everything farther away from the people. But that can be turned around.
