Well you believe that people get to decide over things they don't know/care about, and that would be true if we didn't flock in political party's. On a local level a farmer knows what he's talking about, on a national level each party will have someone in charge who know what the farmers want from a national perspective. What we want these farmers to do/get depends on the party we vote on. We give them a mandate for 4 years (here at least), after that we can chose to put someone else in charge. How do you want this to evolve, people will still be stupid and ignorant about things that don't concern them. It's pretty much as close to perfection we can get imvho.
