I agree with the sentiment here.

Theoretically though in representative democracy you choose the government to represent you and be an agent for making your decisions. You are responsible for what your government does in part that equals 1/Population

everybody knows that representative democracy is not representative. so, no, even theoretically you're not responsible for that reason. although you may be responsible for not doing anything to put in place a more representative democracy in your country (ie. be more involved in politics)
