To be honest, I think the people need to give uo a part of their freedom willingly. A strong leader with clear goals to reach a evolution of the system is needed to unite the people and make the undemocratic voice the rule of the many.

Socrates has spoken wisely about democracy and the issues with it
Socrates was not elitist in the normal sense. He didn’t believe that a narrow few should only ever vote. He did, however, insist that only those who had thought about issues rationally and deeply should be let near a vote.
He asked us to imagine an election debate between two candidates, one who was like a doctor and the other who was like a sweet shop owner. The sweet shop owner would say of his rival: Look, this person here has worked many evils on you. He hurts you, gives you bitter potions and tells you not to eat and drink whatever you like. He’ll never serve you feasts of many and varied pleasant things like I will. Socrates asks us to consider the audience response: Do you think the doctor would be able to reply effectively? The true answer – ‘I cause you trouble, and go against you desires in order to help you’ would cause an uproar among the voters, don’t you think?
When you are on a boat and you need to go to England, you don't go vote on some old man who can speak good. You assign the experienced captain to bring you there.

Saxon Anglia wrote:It all depends on people who make up the democracy and who the voters are. But as a general rule the only truly functioning democracies that have the politicians who actually have the people of the nation's interests in mind instead of some foreign policy, diplomatic orginasation, plot to flood the country with foreigners and then give the foreigners welfare and voting rights to place a stranglehold on power. Standard Corruption. Or just sheer incompetence, the only countries that I can think of that don't have one or more of those problems are maybe Switzerland. Japan.
Uruguay. And maybe czechia and possibly Poland.
