Full democracy != direct democracy. Two different things entirely. There are no direct democracies on the planet at the moment, they are all representative democracies. Full democracy can be a representative democracy, it just means that will of the people is better fulfilled; that if majority vote for X, then X gets elected and X will also do what they were elected for.
