That's direct democracy.
If you ask me, people as a majority don't always know what is best. A lot of the biggest human advances wouldn't have happened because the masses would never have voted them. We need Representatives because they can make unpopular decisions for the good of the people.
What I think does need to change though, is this concept of parties. You vote for a representative, and they don't really represent you. They represent their parties. So you end up having to pick between very few (in many countries only two) parties that are probably all heavily influenced by lobbyist.
I guess you could say that political landscapes are centralised, and need to be decentralized.

Amen. Well said. Surely not many actually truly believe that one party or person will be able to accurately represent all of our personal views about issues of government whilst also not buckling to political corruption or being driven out of government. There is no need to throw truckloads of dollars at an endless string of political "leaders" (even well after their term and into their retirement here in Australia). Voting on a leader and expecting them to be able to speak for millions seems extremely outdated and more than slightly naive. Voting on issues and ideas is the only real democracy, and it really can't be corrupted more than the current system with the tools we now have at our disposal.
