It's still better than the ruling class just forcing all decisions on someone.

To a certain extend, yes, but what annoys me is how hypocritic it us, pretending that every single person has the chance to change things - and failing to mention that no, you don't, unless you belong to the vast majority. And when it comes down to it - I don't really care if the decisions are forced upon me by the ruling class or by the majority.

I still think a totalitarian system under a reasonable ruler would be the best alternative, but I guess that only works in theory either. In reality, we'd probably be stuck with a Hitler/Bush/Voldemort clone then, and that would be too scary to even imagine.

*sighs* That's why I usually turn a blind eye to politics. It just frustrating the hell out of me. :(
