modern democracy is a sham anyway. lets examine a recent large crisis we had in Finland - the border crisis, in which Russia systematically weaponized migrant waves - where the democratically elected government was initially unable to act with any measures on, because it would've been in violation of a UN convention which was agreed on in the 60's.

This was one of the most prolific decisions to be done in the 2020's and yet we could just barely enforce the will of the people over the interests of extragovernmental groups. Now imagine the thousands of small decisions being done which the average voter has no transparency into.

A good start to real democracy would be completely outlawing lobbying, NGO's, think tanks and other garbage organizations who's only raison d'etre is subverting the peoples right to their own governance.
