Aren't most (all?) modern democracies some flavour of representative democracy?

We elect politicians who appoint bureaucrats who hire staff to run departments, who'll then take advice from committees and expect advisers.

It reads to me like you mean to imply direct democracy, which I suspect would be some magnitudes of order more terrifying than the incompetent fools and puppets presently steering the ships.
