So you expect me to give up my right to vote? – no way!

It depends on what you get in exchange. If you think voting has provided you with a government that serves you well, then no, we would not expect you to want to change anything. However, if you are unhappy with the results that come from a system where you are allowed to vote only for one of two political parties, or are just tired of all the slanted, simplistic rhetoric during political campaigns, then yes, maybe trading your vote for citizens assemblies would be better.

Also, given the low turnout for elections over the last few decades, it seems that many believe that voting is futile.
