Parlimentary Democracy is Outdated

Why do we even have this Parliament? Canadians debate things all the time online. The fact is, in many cases these debates are far more productive than those that occur in The House of Commons. Why do we cling to this antiquitidated idea of a Parliament. The technology exists whereby every individual has a voice and every argument presented can be discussed. We have the capacity today to poll people and vote through our IP addresses. Why is it that we cling to our antique system of governance, surely Parliamentary Democracy evolved in a time where communication was severely restricted by time and space. Given the reality of communication on a modern scale the founders of democracy would surely not have selected a Parliament as a means of imposing the will of the people, but rather placing the vote directly at the fingertips of the people, and eliminating the need for a middleman. Democracy for the people by the people has never been as close to hand as it is today, we could vote on every initiative and participate in an active lively debate as individuals participating in the process of our own direction and governance. Yet, for some reason, that escapes me, we continue to cling to our Parliamentary Democracy and turn our lives over to the heavy hand of governance. Democracy requires complete transparency and so long as the doors of power exist democracy will exist only as a facade not-with-standing the tyranny of the majority.
