@icedquinn
also in antique Greece, they noted that often the majority vote was not representing the free thinking of the assembly, but it was heavily influenced from the oratory art of the best speaker. In a similar way, now days, information is heavily controlled and manipulated. Worse: we have no permanent assemblies, but we vote only every few years.
We should have a better organized democracy, and informative system, using more the technology we have. But there is no will to do this.
And as you noted, if the institution that had to apply a process, are not fair, then a citizen can be "legally" oppressed.
