you can't reflect the will of the people with representative democracy. People have different value judgement, therefor it is impossible to create laws that are 100% reflective of the people.

Democratic representatives do not represent you like a lawyer or financial advisor. They have to act in your and your interest alone, or they breach ethics and possibly get sued. 1:1 vs. Many:1 relationship.



I'm referring to the result of an election, not the actions of those elected.
