This is supported/mentioned in an episode of Yes, Prime Minister.Another idea is a belief in a government system based on that of the presbyterian church, where you have a pyramid of an electoral system, with each group electing the people just above them, and them electing the people above them in turn etc.
IIRC, voters elect a street representative, they in turn elect an estate representative and so on to MP.

My memory is not correct. Local councillors elected by 200, MPs by less than 1000, these larger bodies following executive councils elected by the members. If my memory had been, that'd be your ideology. Never mind.
EDIT: I had a friend who favoured this bold passage. So the estate representatives would then elect ward/town representaives, all the way to national ones. He was something of an extreme liberal/anarchist. Anybody has the right to do/believe anything (politics, religion, drugs, you name it), as long as it isn't harmful to others. The way he presented this ideology, it had some rather large holes in it, but so do capitalism and liberal democracy, so...
