That's increasingly possible. It's the
reductio ad absurdum argument against JEQuidam's thesis, but... it's not all that
absurdum. I'd like to see a nationwide body politic, conducting quality debate on issues and voting from among the masses. Anybody read the
Ender's Game series? Like that, but with fewer genius children gaming the system and becoming Hegemon.
(Incidentally, Orson Scott Card and I would likely share an elected representative under this proposal. Although I guarantee that he and I would vote for different people.)
