    Randomized representatives can still be propagandized, bribed, and have hunger for power.

      True.

      Hunger for power would exist, but a critical feature that currently exists - the means of returning to power - would be absent.

      Bribes would be a concern, so good pay and anti-corruption mechanicms would still be required.

        Unless the randomized reps decide they like their newfound power, and change the rules to allow them to maintain/extend/return to power.

        Direct bribes are only part of the problem. Corporations would still do the things they’re doing now, where they bribe politicians with cushy jobs once they leave their government positions. Good pay on the job while at the government doesn’t stop that.
