I think we would have more freedom with such a system (the people itself is the "party"), while at the same time increasing the efficiency of the state (cutting back on backstabbing, arrogant, bureaucratic, middle-men).
If you think about it, it is the logical next step, just as traditional democracy was in the ancient times when people often were ruled under systems on which they had practically no influence. Now that we have the technology to creature superior democracy, why hold on the ancient, lesser form of democracy?
Anybody with me?
