Abstract
This article analyzes the commotion caused on social media by the discussion of the proposed amendment to the Constitution (PEC) that foresees the end of the 6x1 work shift, currently in force in Brazil, and proposes a solution to this manifestation of the evident crisis of representation experienced in the country. According to data, citizens from various political spectrums demanded that their elected representatives take a position in favor of the proposal, however, in certain cases, they did not obtain it. The model of democracy implemented in Brazil causes citizens to distance themselves from the decisions that are most relevant to their lives. The theoretical framework starts from the observed lack of credibility in the model implemented in Brazilian democracy, which confuses democracy with elections, which, in the view of several authors, has not resolved the crisis of representation faced by Brazil. Based on this case study, an intervention is proposed as a result, based on the model advocated by Belgian historian David Van Reybrouck, which foresees a new look for the electoral system, allowing greater popular participation, through a bi-representative model with members of the people, randomly selected, through the technique used in ancient times of drawing lots, deciding their future and the future of the territory they occupy. This deliberation would be made together with the elected leaders in a conventional way, thus not banning elections as they currently occur. An effective way to overcome the obstacles of the case study, but also to suggest a path to resolve the crisis of representation as a whole, if the model is properly applied.
