Then in your view there has never been any real democracy, and there will never be.

There will always be some people more influential than others, people like to have leaders to follow and listen to, it’s who we are.

People instinctively back the leader they feel is the luckiest because there is a subconscious hope that leader's luck will bring them luck as well.

This is what I believe was the biggest reason for the outcome of the last election.
