Well I think the topic is aggregate representation, not the examples of individual representation you gave. Allthough I think you could hire Pinkerton Lifecoach Services to handle those for you haha.
It is interesting to think how parties would change with a sortition system. They wouldn't disappear. Would platforms become granular? Would the clubs become more open? There would be a frenzy for existing coalitions to sign on the fresh meat, instead of it all being scripted before hand, especially with revolving systems like the senate and house, with staggared replacement. How would that play out? Would new representative immediately be pulled into back rooms and shown the palentir, rather than being specifically enticed to islands and brownstones?
Yes this is all something that it hard to imagine the existing party structure evolving or migrating to, but since this is political theory forum...
