Democracy isnt perfect you know - instead of the most suitable person for the job getting voted in, the person with the best public appeance get's the job instead.
Even if you pretend for a moment that people vote based on their political oppinion and not purely on a candidates public image, how does the average person on the street know whats best for a country (and thus indirectly themselves). Most of those people have studied economics, their oppinions are based more or less purely on the junk fed to them from the media.

Democracy seems fundamentaly flawed to me. Capitalism is even worse - an entire system based around the most fundamental flaw humans have - greed & the desire to make more money off other people.
