Democracy,

"Self-government is in inverse ratio to numbers. The larger the constituency, the less the value of any particular vote.

Theoretically they are the servants of the people; but in fact it is the servants who give orders and the people, far off at the base of the great pyramid, who must obey."

Aldous Huxley, English Novelist
