I feel like politics will be automated eventually. We have voters who express intents, then we have politicians who are (in theory) hired to best represent and interpret those intents.

But there's only 1 signal (election/not-election) and it's only delivered every few years. Yes, there's some voter feedback in the interim sometimes, but unless there's also a lot of press and noise around the voter feedback, politicians are unlikely to do anything with it because it probably won't impact re-election.

Ideally, there would be much more interactive feedback between voter and political agent (human or otherwise) carrying out voter intents, especially around informing of unintended repercussions of policy decisions and ultimately forcing voters to have more nuanced policy views.

At least that's what I hope for. What reality says is usually quite different.
