Here's the thing: true democracy, theoretically, involves individuals voting in their interest with full knowledge of what is being presented. Last election I was discussing some of the spending bills with randoms in line waiting to vote. It became clear that they did not understand the bills but were "told" by friends or media how they should vote. In my view, there seems to be a distorted-abstract-representative that controls these group-voting circles. Just cause they cast the ballot themselves doesn't mean they are not being represented by this abstract representative. It was clear that some of these people were about to unknowingly vote in direct opposition to their own principles.
