The difficulty is when the elected representatives decide unilaterally to pursue their own goals and aims, putting party before country and constituents. As evidenced by Merkel and Voss's reported comments (which were in the Wired article on this): "The protesters are a bunch of people Google paid off to protest. Every one of them has a pay cheque". Which to me sounds a lot like the oft-quoted line from the other side: "George Soros is bankrolling this".
