I'd rather you delegate your decisions to Ice-T than Donald Trump. The question is whether this system is an improvement over current forms of representative republic, which have rotted into democracy-lite as a fig leaf on oligarchy.

Would it be an improvement? Depends on the issues. Think about the Greek Debt crisis.

Pretty sure everyone would take their vote back from politicians under pressure to make the difficult calls, and vote to hang the bankers and put off interest payments.

Your position appears to be that the professional politicians who got Greece into the crisis by cooking the debt books would be better than the Greek people at getting them out of the crisis.
