    Pretty sure this is the exact reason plato (iirc) described democracy as the second worst possible system of government, next to autocracy. Giving everyone a say in politics is fair, but conveniently ignores that most people are simply too dumb, ignorant, lazy and uninterested in political matters to be able to exercise that power responsibly.
