The executive and legislative branch make decisions, supposedly seeking consensus as part of their decision-making process.
If you're arguing that consensus are not important or a basic requirement of a democracy, and long term plans can only be implemented if they are dictated by an autocratic government then the problem is another one.

I'm not arguing that. I'm arguing that a legislature randomly selected from the population is actually more likely to seek consensus and do long term planning than a legislature of power-hungry politicians.
