This is an amusing and thoughtful article and I laud anyone who's thinking seriously about the inherent problems of representative democracy. Unfortunately, the author seems unaware of the fundamental problems with this approach to governance and instead focuses on one very small aspect. This is rather like suggesting the many problems with the Model T Ford could be resolved by improving the tyre compound. The real problem with qualification-free representative democracy is that it fails completely to recognize generic human cognitive limitations. Like Marxism, qualification-free representative democracy would be a great idea if only we humans were completely different in every possible way (cognitively) from how we actually are. Thus tinkering around the edges, as per the proposal in this article, is a waste of time because it fails to recognize and address the fundamental mismatch between concept and evolutionarily hardwired human capability.
