Democracy doesn't work particularly well when the voters are uneducated or otherwise missinformed. That when the country starts doing things that are against its and its own citizens interest. Corruption, legal or otherwise, also contribute to making it disfunctional.

So we're just coming out against democracy now when the proles aren't on our side, are we? Great. Glad to see this brave new form of leftism.
