    Cool, so don’t make it mandatory. I don’t really care.

    What I care about is that people have a direct say in what they want to vote for. Not have to hope a representative actually represents them.

      That’s how Thor’s idea works. You choose your proxy. You don’t elect them without the option to change until the next election. You can switch proxies or take over directly at literally any time.

        I don’t want to choose a proxy, I want a direct say. The only person I want representing me, is me.

        Anything less is simply lipstick on a pig.

          I don’t want to choose a proxy, I want a direct say

          Ok then? Do that. But why should your preference to do it that way dictate how everyone must do it?

            Obviously we would need some regulation on what is basically selling votes

            No different to the potential for the same problem today in representative elections.
