The point is that politicians, in a democracy, if anything, should enact what consensus there is of politically active and informed citizenry, so to speak. Not sell their own ideas or even corruption to people who are rather disinterested in many vital areas. If people, every one of them, felt the buck stops with them, and saw absolutely no way to hand over their making up their mind about what the world is like and what should be done, then even just that would create so much pressure on political parties and corporations as to positively mold them. As it is, it's more the other way around, with all the lameness that entails.
