If people are ignorant they will exploit minorities in a Democracy

Why make it possible for some people to be responsible for others; why delegate powers to the State?

We can still have authority when those in the courts system reject entry (to the judiciary) to those who they do not consider suitable. Why should anyone subject themselves to the opinion poll of others. Why do politicians listen to the election? They will get arrested if they do not allow the popular candidate to take over, but why not apply the same law to them as to everyone. To be the Government without the consent of the people, the most popular, is illegal, so why is it made legal when people vote for it? Why do people vote for something they would not tolerate in normal life, which is to say aggression, coercion and taxes?

If Democracy is tolerated only because it allows a means to exploit the minority then it does more harm than good. Who would want to be a minority in a Democracy? The problem with a Democracy is that it fails to protect minorities, unless the electorate are enlightened, not ignorant.
