With the internet a revised version of Athenian democracy
I don't even have to look it up to know that sophisticated reliable internet use is probably something around <50% of the population with a giant discrepancy towards educated wealthy people.

The ONS reported that 96% of UK households had internet access in 2020.

Two party politics is bullshit. Party politics is pretty much a sham. The notion of voting for one person or party to represent all your different views or beliefs is just weird and is an illusion of democracy. With the internet a revised version of Athenian democracy could be achieved, everyone has a right to vote but would probably only exercise it on issues that concern them.
