Polling every one for every issue is not practical. However, the system does provide a way to accommodate the whims of the people. That is why the House has 100% turnover every two years whereas the Senate, which tends to represent the considered views of the people rather than their whims, has a turnover of 100% every six years.

Making voting a duty rather than a right is an interesting idea. Australia does it.
