Citizens can delegate their votes to trustees instead of representatives. The voting imbalance between ordinary citizens and trustees is cured by the introduction of common deliberative forums for opinion-building, where trustees are obliged to participate in. An elected executive with oversight reviews the feasibility of policies which have been deliberated by citizens and trustees, and moderates package deals across policy areas additionally to its core task of implementing policies.
