This is an interesting thought but it does not get into the motivations for why a real political party might make the choice to operate this way -- there likely needs to be some perceived comparative advantage to the potential users of such a model for them to use it, or else why take the risk and venture into the unknown?
I think it's possible that a DAO could be part of a system that does provide such an advantage -- it may even be the case that it alone confers one! But I don't know what it is and want to see one articulated.
This topic is of current interest to me, as I've been reading summaries of the history of political and philosophical trends lately[1]. The interplay of different power groups with economic, technological, and other factors to form novel systems for controlling their environment is very complex, and fun to speculate about, especially the internet's role in possibly allowing new power structures to exist that may lead to new systems.
1. In particular, Bertrand Russell's History of Western Philosophy, which has been a surprising lot of fun.
