This is the definition I am using:

a system, organization, or society in which people are chosen and moved into positions of success, power, and influence on the basis of their demonstrated abilities and merit.

    I‘m not saying direct democracy cant be broken but britain isnt a direct democracy. Its like giving someone a bike who drove a car all their lives. They crash and hurt themselves and someone says „look! Bikes are dangerous!“

    There are no direct (or mostly direct) democracies in the world afaik. Feel free to prove otherwise.

        In part, but not fully. They still have full time reprenstative offices. Direct democracy would get along without those afaik.
