Its really not leaders that we should worry about but policies. Politicians should just do what the majority of their voters want and let the voters decide policy. That is what politicians should do and should not concern themselves with "leading" because they are just pegs that fit whatever hole we the voters create with our own debate. They can be a braindead retard as long as the vote for what we tell them to vote for and everything will be fine because the role of policy creation should be in the hands of the voters and not in the hands of the elected politicians.
Wrong!
Those in office are actually a check and balance against the simple majority. We are a Republic not a strict democracy. You might want to check into what that means.
I'm not sure what you are saying. I know its a republic but its a democratic one where elected officials have limited powers given to them in the constitution but over the things they do have power over they must follow the simple majority. Not doing so is nullifying the people which removes a vital check against government abuse. Do you really want politicians to veto the will of the majority in favor of the minority?
