I am fighting a pretty big inner struggle over these issues...<p>On paper LD seems like a very good concept at least it seems superior to the current form of representatives. I&#x27;m not 100% convinced complete direct democracy on all issues isn&#x27;t superior to LD. Wisdom of the crowds would suggest you don&#x27;t have to be an expert on everything, the point about classified votes is a good one (of course one could argue these shouldn&#x27;t exist but that&#x27;s another debate).<p>...however LD also requires a technical solution which seems far easier to game and manipulate than old school ballots.
Strong crypto + LD seems like the way to go but you&#x27;d need a key for each citizen and loss of keys will happen and need to be mitigated.
