I was super for that until I was on a grand jury. Random people are easily played because they lack experience. That jury voted however the prosecutor wanted. I'm passively interested in ways to put more power in expert hands. E.g. elect many specialist reps vs 1 general rep.

I've been looking at sortition recently for medical coop governance. It's a much better alignment of incentives between office holders and public. Career based on popularity, maintaining incumbent advantages leads to corruption leads to oligarchy. Republic = oligarchy well known.
