Nope and I bet neither of us will ever live to see a better one. None of the existing alternatives are better. Demarchy, gladly first coined by an Australian which barely keeps me on topic, is a good idea but still far too infant. In a sense. Because in fact you may be right to tell me that Demarchy is simply a revision of Democracy. The problem is that all the tools necessary for the destruction of our representative democracies are contained inside them. It won't take a Makedonian invasion, we'll vote ourselves into some other worse way.

Errr, both of these popular public figures can probably rather easily find each other's phone number to solve this thing in private.
