I agree. Democracy is often hailed as the ultimate government, but I think it's based on a false premise...well, a few actually. For one, people assume that people can choose the best representative for themselves, despite this being proven incorrect time and again. We also often don't seem to understand that our representatives should be doing what is best for the people, not necessarily what is most popular. Representative democracy is just picking the most popular, not the candidate that is the best for the people.
