That's just a few of the possible reforms that could be taken. I'm aware that for a country as large as China or the USA, that this would create legislatures with tens or hundreds of thousands of representatives, but there's no other way that we can ensure that democracy doesn't chug under its own mass as in a direct democracy, or become captured by a crooked political elite.

I'm curious if there is any history of big parliamentary bodies. The biggest elected ones are all a few hundred now. Seems tough to make it work, with 10,000 members each able to propose laws.
