That's the beauty of democracy. You don't have to be qualified to have an opinion.
"Most people"probably aren't qualified to have a meaningful opinion on economics, agricultural policy, foreign policy, military strategy, etc., etc.
That's the price you pay for giving everyone a vote.
Democrazy has a another advantage. According to Adam Smith, the societies interest is best served when all individuals serve their individual interests. (from an economic point of view) And maybe the way a country is ruled might not be as important as wether it experiences economic growth for a prolonged period under whatever system. (might be more applicable for poor countries but economic wealth, offcourse, is relative.)
