I agree that politicians make some terrible and downright malicious decisions (namely TTIP) and citizens should have more power (stop NSA, anyone?), but some decisions are best left to the specialists. Utopian government should be some kind of a mix between democracy and technocracy imho.
An anecdote to answer your question: in Lithuania (where I live), few elections ago, the most vote received a party consisting of the local TV and pop stars that, no need to say, had absolutely no clue about politics. Of course, they didn't last long and only caused few months of turmoil.
