Democracy doesn't need reform, it works great. The real problem is people keep trying to ram tens or hundreds of solutions through a centralised system that can only be held accountable for 1 decision every few years and needs to concentrate on the military. There isn't a democratic way to process large numbers of issues without outsourcing the decision making because people can't think about that many disparate topics.

Or to put it another way:

There's nothing wrong with democracy. It's the people that are screwed up.

Well that’s why I wrote democratic mechanisms, not democracy.
