If you have a large enough parliamentary body whose members are chosen randomly, then having a couple of nutjobs on it, also maybe one or two murderers or rapists, would not take away from the entire body being able to function and make sensible decisions.
I’d argue the current Western democratic systems based on elections lead to a stark overrepresentation of criminals and assholes in government.

The electoral system we currently have is not democratic. Sortition/aleatoric is the only real form of democracy.
