How can Democracy work better?

I just came across this post on Doc Searls blog [link], where he quotes Steve Urquhuart [link] who had this to say about the state of Democracy: There's no reason why we can't create means for productive connections between citizens and their representatives. The challenge is to create means for participation by citizens and accountability by representatives. In other words, making democracy work. Searls goes on to mention Politicopia [link], an interesting experiment in new participatory law making.
