Thing is though, the average public opinion is apathetic in regards to politics, you only have to look at the gradual voter turnout decline over the years. People would much rather watch Big Brother, X-Factor [insert nation here]'s got Talent than debate over politics...therefore it's up to the minority to make as much noise as they can to try and break the majority out of their stupor.
I mean, the system is broken, one has to admit it, either the system is broken or the people in it are. I'm not saying Democracy is broken, it's not a great system in terms of productivity but it's better than the others, but there are certain elements of it, the power that banking moguls have, for example, which is very much broken but no-one wants to fix it because they're resigned to the fact that whatever they do, no-one will listen, nothing will get done, the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer.
