they do not have proper opinions, they become a tyranny very easily, most are sheer idiots. I would certainly include people on this forum in that. But they have interests, and I agree with democracy as a way to represent those interests. However interest and opinion are entirely different political phenomena. I would leave the representation of opinion to an elite, granted I do not see we have an elite anymore, as our education system has been largely destroyed and even the old families do not bring up their children anymore to potentially be statesmen. They all turn out to be ideologues of one type or another, left or right, or party cult, except possibly some of those grounded in a traditional religion.
