I don't see why people get so worked up about democracy. If people aren't willing to even vote then the system in practice cannot be considered democratic anyway.

If a 40% electorate is democratic, then I think we should be a bit more concerned about what it is exactly that we think we have right now.

I've always held the opinion that those with the expertise in areas should be the ones to make educated, well reasoned decisions. Not people who get all their information from the Daily Express.

Maybe, just maybe, we give people more liberty and choice than they should be credited.
