To me it seems obvious that we will get technological solutions to voting that can make direct/local democracy more competitive against representative democracy. I think we won't need national governments as much anymore, instead we need a global "lightweight" government that does as little as possible, and much more diverse and bespoke local city/community level governance where the governed mostly govern themselves. Shared resources such as fishing quotas, forests, mineral deposits etc. should be governed by smart contracts where the incentives of the voters are aligned with long-term sustainability. It shouldn't matter which country a person is from or how big their boat is, if they extract X tons of something they need to buy X tons of quota for it on the open market.
