That's how Thor's idea works. You choose your proxy. You don't elect them without the option to change until the next election. You can switch proxies or take over directly at literally any time.

I don’t want to choose a proxy, I want a direct say. The only person I want representing me, is me.

Anything less is simply lipstick on a pig.
