Fractal democracy would be a radical improvement on existing systems. Existing representative electoral democracies have nearly all been captured by monied interests. We need a new model of truly accountable elected representation. Fractal democracy is the way forward: A layered system in which base-level groups of seven people each choose one representative, and those seven representatives then meet to choose a representative, and so on, up several levels of representation, would allow more than 282 million people to be democratically, accountably, flexibly represented through a ten-level system — and it would require just ten two-hour accountability meetings every other month for the person at the top of the fractal hierarchy to be held fully accountable at every level.
