Nice idea, but in a democracy, 1 voter = 1 vote. Giving taxpayers more voting power would never be politically acceptable. What may be more realistic is allowing taxpayers to directly vote on budgets, major welfare schemes, and tax-related spending. If you're paying the bill, you should at least get a say in how the money is spent. Parliament would still pass the budget, but taxpayer approval could be required for large spending increases, new freebies, or major borrowing. That would create far more accountability than simply electing representatives every five years.
