isnt this that "the people" are for in a democracy? In theory, everyone is free to create a new party that cares about particular things, and people can vote for it if they think its important for them, too.
I think the major reason why this doesn't work fluently in practise (and a bunch of other issues) is capitalism itself, where wealth naturally concentrates and money is able to buy people one way or the other.

Not that money amplifies weaknesses alone, but rather the wealth itself changes the way people think, and in many cases not for the better.
