Democracy™ is great. All you have to do is manufacture consensus and make the plebs think it's all their idea by bombarding them with The Message™. When everything inevitably go to shit, just blame them for "voting" for it. Then, have the voters fight amongst themselves, while the people actually in charge watch and laugh at the chimpout.
In the US it's really the "unit rule." If the individual electoral college members were allowed to vote with their district instead of their state we'd have a functioning federal government.
