People also become tired of engaging in the constant need to decide on various issues and disconnect. Legislator have to vote on hundreds of issues over the course of a year. Do you want to have to do a public vote every week? How do the people stay informed enough to understand the issues and options? How many times will they vote before it becomes too onerous and they stop participating? Then you just get the special interests voting on their issues.

This happens a lot in the US in the primary elections. Everyone complains about the poor quality of Republican candidates and how they wish there were better options but the primary voter has already limited the field.
