Voting has two preconditions, and both are not given: voters need to be competent on matters, vioters need to be willing to deciude raitonally for the grater good, not their own selfish interest, voters must be given votings on every single issue there is, not onb packs of issues ot eb deicded that are arvbitrairly put together and even onclude issues that att he time the package was voted on even wre not even on the horizon.

Consider tzhere is a party wanting to abandon nulcear power, but keeping the draft. The other party wants to get rid of the draft, but keep nuclear power. Now, you want to get rid of both, or want to keep both - what do you vote for?

Most people are clueless and uncaring Hobbits. A few less are noisy, bullying hooligans. Only a very small handful are mindful, knowing and reasonable Vulcans (terminology introduced by Jason Brennan).
