I think there are big opportunities here for the extension of democracy. Democracy as it stands is quite weak - technically a Polyarchy, meaning that elected officials make decisions which we ratify. This could mean citizens could participate in decision making.
The same reason is why the government and many people will try to oppose it, because greater democracy is a threat to any power system.
The reason why people feel disconnected from politics is by design. The rulers don't want the people to participate, they want them passive.
