In this High Tech age, a Libertarian Congress {as described in the “Probability Broach” Novels by L.Neil Smith} would be possible.

It would be possible for Congressfolks to echo an actual number of loyal Followers. Voters that don’t like a Stand, taken by their “Rep” could switch to supporting any specific other Congressperson.

WEIGHTED Congressional votes.

“on This Issue, I represent X number of voters from My District and Y number of voters from Other Districts”.

Congressfolk with larger Y than X numbers would get Major PRESS!

I like your views on weighted probabilities. As an abstract concept it is underutilized in popular thought...
