As the title goes - I think it's a good solution for some of the Western World's problems, like politicians not following their campaign promises. On the other hand, conflicting politics are a big possibility, which would create further problems. Any ideas?

Won't work. Too many people don't care about politics enough to even go to the voting every few years. How can you expect a significant amount of the population to involve in everyday politics, enough not to let control slip into the few hands paid for doing this for their masters?
