I would agree with this in that government is a body of control, all governments can be corrupt. However with democracy it is trickier as you have to control a majority instead of just having one corrupt agent.

I think most democracies have problems with those who don't want to control people or are jaded not voting thinking it doesn't matter because the minority is so loud and mean. If they came together to vote outside the extreme bounds it'd be for the benefit. However people seem to be more apt to vote when they feel extremely rather then on a regular basis. You can see this by going to any of our pages, the number of three votes is always far outweighed by 5s and 1s.
