Sixteen-year-olds can learn to drive, get a job, pay taxes and be on the Organ Donor Register, but they are considered too young to vote. Should they also have a stake in deciding their future?
That’s how Thor’s idea works. You choose your proxy. You don’t elect them without the option to change until the next election. You can switch proxies or take over directly at literally any time.
You don’t have to, that’s the entire point of the proxy; it’s for people who can’t/don’t want to vote on every single issue. Clearly you’re not one of these people so there’s no actual issue here, you’re just arguing for argument’s sake.

I don’t want to choose a proxy, I want a direct say. The only person I want representing me, is me.
Anything less is simply lipstick on a pig.

Ok then? Do that. But why should your preference to do it that way dictate how everyone must do it?

No different to the potential for the same problem today in representative elections.
That is actually what was proposed by the candidate @Zagorath@aussie.zone was referring to.
