Representative government is dumb, anyway. Over time, the people put too much confidence in the politicians who represent them to the point where they become apathetic to their condition, and allow said representatives to fuck things up left and right. Representation should exist on the individual level, because if you have to take on that burden, you're going to make sure you go out of your way to have an interest in the condition of the world around you. If you get babysit, then not at all. It's like "free" health-care. Paying for health-care out of your own pocket will always provide you with a larger incentive to stay fit because it's at your cost, while having the burden shifted on the whole of society eases you up to live like a slob.
