The shipwreck by illusions of democracy

There will be one wrong assumption about the democratic process: that relies on the assumption that citizens, the majority of them, at least, can recognize the best political candidate, or best policy idea, when they see it.
But a growing body of research has revealed, an unfortunate aspect of the human psyche that would seem to disprove this notion, and imply instead that democratic elections produce mediocre leadership and policies.

Yes, I have allways been known about this. And it can be the biggest main reason that I am not involved in politics.

To the extent that you are incompetent, you are a worse judge of incompetence in other people, says a reseacher David Dunning, a psychologist at Cornell University.

He shows that incompetent people are inherently unable to judge the competence of other people, or the quality of those people's ideas.

Perhaps, but he does not say that people in politics, which can not control even his own life, in my opinion, tended to dominate the other.
Is also true, I see.

While that democracies rarely or never elect the best leaders, their advantage over dictatorships or other forms of government is merely that they effectively prevent lower-than-average candidates from becoming leaders.

Is it enough for democracy?
