Sure, politicians might have to listen to voters, but if voters themselves are selfish then how does that help? Like, if we are worried about the hypothetical winners of the sortition lottery would legislate selfishly, shouldn't we worry just as much that normal voters will elect politicians who will pass legislation that furthers the voters' selfish interests?
