Pure Democracy seems a poor fit for any system with EM’s.
Fortunatly any system with EM’s is likely to open up a much better alternative.
One of the major problems with most forms of government is that the rulers come from such a different background to the ruled.
Democracy or not. They’re likely to share few experiences.
But if you can create EM’s it’s likely you can create composite EM’s or trade memories.
Rather than electing a leader why not allow each conscious being to send some subset of their memories to be included in a fabricated representitive.
Think your leader doesn’t “get” what it’s like to live on the breadline or to lose a child?
Make your contribution the memories of the experience.
Duplicates or similar experiences could be removed or merged.
Duplicate EM’s would have few different experiences so no matter how many times you copy yourself you’re still only drawing from the same pool of memories and as such wouldn’t be able to get more representation than a single person.
