We vote for leaders, rather than vote on issues.

We vote for leaders based on how they are disposed to handle various issues.

it would in fact be a bad idea to let the general public best decide on issues like this.

Presumably you're having a laugh, because I think in this instance the general public are way ahead of the politicians.

Thinking that Democracy is the ideal solution in all situations is rather foolish.

I have never in all my years read such unmitigated Fascist bollocks. Should we replace democracy with rule by activist-scientist? What a load of unmitigated crap.
