One attempt to hack representative democracy is a party controlled by an app. It works like this:
An app is created which lets citizens vote on every issue in the legislature. A party is formed whose elected members vote according to the app results. Citizens elect members from this party. Once the party achieves an elected majority, the legislature becomes controlled by the app, and transformed into a digital direct democracy.
There’s a few projects that attempted this. The one that’s still active is Flux Party of Australia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_(political_party) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_(political_party)
