I find this extremely naive.  Individuals get access to politicians simply for being rich business tycoons, or they are paid lobbyists.  Individuals, like you and me, don’t get access whatsoever.

Part of the problem--part mind you, and in my opinion--is that the growing population means there's more people per MP/congressman/whatever. How can they know 100,000 of their fellow citizens well enough to really understand their problems?
