The thing is, democracy hasn't demonstrated that it can combat private interests.
If private interests can't operate outside the country's border, then these people have the money to simply manipulate the media, the politicians and therefore the policies and democracy itself to suit them.

One could as easily state that the EU is attempting to stand up for democratic interests, which is why I have added that comment making that argument.
