You said "in any big country."
Direct democracy works fabulously in small communes.
That is true, but you might notice that there is some space between these two categories. Germany is a pretty small country, and it's also an oligarchy.
Small comunities is probably limited to pashtun villages with a few dozen freeholders. Anything at the size or larger than the free population of classical athens seems too big.
