To further improve this system you could make the votes freely exchangeable and instead of having periodic elections let people use these votes whenever they want to express an opinion. The number of 'votes' that people obtain will be based on how much value they provide to other people and they can divide them up to spend on whatever is important to them.

Now if we could just get the government out of the way completely and prevent it from interfering in this system we'd have capitalism.
