I believe if you don't have an interest in informing yourself about political issues, your vote should just be voided. Democracy has a problem that it can degrade to a popularity contest and I believe this mechanism would only exacerbate that issue. If people are not interested they might also be inclined to sell their votes which would shift political power to wealthy individuals even more. With representatives people usually don't vote on every single issue, on the contrary, the democratic will is already heavily delegated to a party, even if the logistical problems of collecting opinions would be pretty small these days.
