I agree we need transparency, but there's no difference between big corp and government. We've had perfect transparency before, and they simply changed the laws and now its all clear as mud - so if we fix the democracy, it'll just happen again. IMO, we just need to abandon this idea of representative assemblies - its predatory on the public and the best thing that can be said about it is that its slow.

Slow often is good. Since what are good rules today probably also are in 1000 years. But I also think that representative democracy could may in this decade becoma obsolete when there are good working evoting systems. Then Democracies should be possible where every person can vote about every single law. So every law has direct legitimacy in majorities.
I've seen a voting system built on bitcoin - forgot the name, though. It looked perfect. I think they said they're trying to get Guatemala to use it.
Doing direct voting obsoletes the nation state. There's no good reason for the vote of someone outside of your community to have any bearing on your community. Small communities will have to become fully sovereign - and I'm all for that. No more empires, no more capital cities.
