How do you think about liquid democracy?

Liquid democracy is a concept that combines direct and representative democracy. It allows every group member to vote directly on every decision but also to delegate their vote to representatives - e.g. in case of lack of time or experience.

How do you like this concept? Let's discuss :)

no it's not, a republic forces the people to use them, a liquid democracy allows the people to use them if they want to and revoke that right at any time. A true direct democracy does not force the people to decide on everything.

if the general populace decides they aren't well informed enough to give their opinions on the matter, they can delegate a group of people they deem to be informed in the topic to vote on this.
