Democracy

Who says that democracy is really the best possible way to direct a country? Of course in comparison to previews regimes we have had in the past, it certainly is much better, but democracy holds within itself the possibility of its self-defeat. It only works where the citizens that live in it have at least a moderate/high level of education and culture. Why is that? Let's review how the system works:
Everyone decides what is best for everyone, and since we can't do multiple things at once, we vote and take the course of the majority. Herein already we have a couple of problems. First of all, who says that we know what's best for ourselves? I mean if we get sick, do we take our own decisions on what we should do, like medications we should take, or do we go consult a specialist in the area, a doctor. If we are going to build a house, do we decide for ourselves the plan of the house or does an engineer do that? So when running a country what makes us think that anybody can do that job irrespective of his formation or education?!? Second point, we do what the majority wants, so effectively, the democracy is the dictatorship of the majority, it is a majorcracy. In countries that don't have multiple minorities in it, it probably works well. But imagine in countries like Rwanda where we have two factions, the Hutu's in majority and the Tutsis in minority, and you can see how we are going to have problems there. Think about Iraq!
Because of technical problems (which nowadays may not exist anymore), it is not possible for every single person of a country to make decisions, so democracy also consists of representation, where a group of people is represented in different places by one person, i.e. senators, deputies, governors, mayors and the president. This is a major problem. This person isn't necessarily concerned with the voters who voted for him. Many times this person is concerned only for himself, voting measures that will benefit himself. Seemingly the only time they don't do that in when the public opinion is heavily against them and there is pressure from the media.
To elect these representatives of the people we have elections... The so called feast of democracy. This in itself produces the main bias. The people who get elected, they act out their terms not trying to what might be the best for the people. Instead they plan how to get re-elected or somebody they have appointed. How can anybody take impopular measures this way? How can anybody take measures that will take over 30-50 years to reach results? In countries where the education is low, people want to see things being built, they believe that is what makes a good government! It's the guy who makes the most hospitals, bridges who is a good president! This way he ensures his own election, and the people have suffered the more from it.
