There are very logical and practical reasons against running
a country as a pure democracy. That's why its essentially
never done.
 
Even in a small town, can you imagine needing all the
population to vote on every administrative decision? And can
you imagine how random the votes would be, since very few
voters would understand the context of the issue, or the
consequences of their choice?
 
And following the money, it would be easy for those with
profits at stake to flood the citizens with misinformation,
to buy the result they wanted.
 

 
As County welfare departments do.

It seems to me that current administration's free money give away
policy is an attempt to do that.  The college student's loan payoffs
with taxpayer money is an example.

As I've often said, the best way to get elected is to start your
speeches with "If elected I will give you...."
