Parliamentarian democracy introduces a level of indirection. It is them who bother about it, and are responsible for it. I prefer delegation to direct democracy, I'm not ready or competent to vote on every issue, and I'm not sure we can devise a system of certification of any social organization, their own interests, their own competences and so on.
Bref, the case is far more complicated than just labeling today's democracy as inherently ideological. Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last! (Martin Luther King)
But hey, what does Jefferson know about democracy anyway :-P
