I have very hard time to see what is good about democracy? The system refered to as democracy is one of the least efficient and most expensive. It is based on deception and manipulation of public opinion. Yet, many posters here have almost religious ( no doubt due to absence of genuine faith) admiration of democracy.

I have following problems with democracy:
1. Majority is always wrong.
2. The way people vote is controlled by mass media.
3. Elected leaders are relieved of responsibility ( they represent majority, don't they?)
4. Politicians spend about 5% of their time doing the job and 95% of their time trying to be re-elected.
5. Democracy breeds bureaucratism. Which requires increased taxes, which slows down economic development.
6. Elected leaders have no real incentive to improve life of citizens or country's wellbeing.
7. To get elected a person has to be a complete scum.
