Abstracting the Voting Layer

Our elite class – before it became a function of wealth – was designed to abstract the votes of the masses into a manageable form. A lot of people have been thinking about how best to adapt that structure. Here’s one solution:

Instead of voting for preselected candidates, you assign voting power to whoever you trust – dividing it among several people if desired, or retaining some or all for yourself.

I don’t agree. There’s a major assumption error in thinking that the scale of the system has to remain at current levels.
