I've been wondering this... If everyone's voice really mattered in politics, especially at the local level, would people get much more invested in defending their opinions and views? Would this cause rifts in the community? If a 60% majority passes a law, 40% aren't happy with it. And rather than be upset at "congress" or "the government", they could be upset at their neighbor directly. Basically what I'm trying to say is, what if people actually like having the responsibility of government taken out of their hands? Even if it means that government doesn't really serve them.
