It doesn't include the vast majority of people. Heaven forbid that the whole electorate were bitter twisted creatures who reckon their whole sorry life is someone else's fault.

Perhaps Terribulus should read up on what Parliamentary democracy is, as he is clearly confused. You vote for a candidate who wants your vote based largely on party manifesto. You then put your trust in that person to make decisions and if after their period of office you don't agree with their voting record or decisions you are free to vote next time for someone else.

Politicians are not conduits for referendae, they are people put forward to make decisions. Not a perfect system but policy by referendum would be anarchy and counter productive so it's about as good as society based on equality can get.
