    You can sell your vote, but change it back after paid. You can cause revote from outrage that something passed with consequences that were unknown to most. There can/should be constitutional protections against certain laws.

    Liquid democracy is implemented through blockchains, 1 vote per account, and means to ensure 1 account per real citizen. If a corrupt policy steals $150m from society, then $1 to 150m voters may get it to pass the first time. Bribed make a net 50c. Corrupt gains 0. A trace of those payments, may be cause for a/many revotes, where the corrupt must keep the bribery program. Representatives who take the corrupts bribe will lose delegates, and have other delegates demand their share of the bribe.

    These are better checks on corruption than any existing rulership system.
