Yes there are theoretical justifications for a republic over a democracy. But in modern practice, do you believe that the average person is more of a "self-entitled idiot" than the corporate lobbyists writing our laws?

Now lobbying is a problem, but the solution should be in our picking and regulatory mechanisms, not in letting them lobby the public directly.
