The challenge of democracy is not only allowing everyone to participate but to ensure that their participation is informed. Particularly when those who suffer under democracy only need them to vote against themselves. The fact that you guys still have a House of Lords says a lot.
I can't help but feel like that's an impossible goal to achieve on a wide scale for a populace whose educational system has already failed them. At least in the short term. Getting information to people is one thing, but getting them to actually consider it and adjust their views is another. I mean, you don't even have to be "stupid" for that to be true.
