Given the high rates of delegation, we could just make delegation the default. Then we could have people vote, not on issues directly, but to choose delegates who will "represent" them. We could even call them "representatives," and call the resulting system "representative democracy."
There, I fixed it! You don't need to have fixed geographical districts, of course; party-list proportional representation is pretty close to just deciding how you want to delegate your share of power.
- mistermann 4y agoAt least one noteworthy difference is that in Liquid Democracy, individuals can choose who they delegate their vote to, as opposed to choosing between two people who have been chosen for them, who often differ little in behavior (despite telling very different stories).
