> Democracy is a nice concept, but the issue is that its main goal becomes quickly winning the elections. And once you start listening to the majority and adapt your party policies to whatever the population wants currently, you keep winning the elections, but can't do much to influence what you think is right.

So... it's pretty realistic then?



Sounds exactly like the current implementation of democracy.


Except in current democracies there are lots of important popular issues that voters want addressed and yet politicians refuse to, because their owners are against it.
