It's only vaguely democratic tbh, since any decisions based on it are not in fact the will of any people, just the will of that infinitesimal group of people who can be bothered. Just shoot this government in the head and be done with it.

The will of the people that care enough to show up and exercise their right to vote should be the only ones that matter. The rest of the lemmings that don't get how important it is can go ahead drifting through life letting others make important decisions but just don't want to hear a single gripe out of their mouth.
