Re:Is this really likely? (Score 1)

Let me ask - do you REALLY want this?

Ideally politicans are supposed to be people who know that one of the functions of the government is to do the things the majority want while preserving the rights of the minorities. I know it doesn't really happen (see ten commandments in the schools), but if we go to allowing everyone to vote on the issues, then we eliminate this step.

I agree with both points of view, but then I'm not a politition :)

However, the issue as I see it isn't the necessity of polititions, I can't see them dissappearing, but whether the polititions will ever be able to completely support the net. We're down to the old net for business vs. net for academia/it's own sake arguement again I suppose...
