  • This is a weakness of all forms of representative democracy, partisan and non partisan alike. I can picture liquid democracy solving this, where you delegate votes on stuff that you dont care about to your preferred MP, but retain your direct vote for bills you do care about. Another, albeit not yet viable, solution discussed on https://plurality.net/ is an AI parliament that summarizes the opinions of the entire voterbase. This type of problem is called Broad Listening (summarizing and grouping a superhuman amount of opinions), and LLMs have the potential to be very good at this. The best solution so far was the system of local MPs but truly effectove broad listening is, obviously, a task that is beyond their abilities/will.
