That’s the idea behind democracy. That is indeed why it works.

The representatives are a check on the will of the people from the aristocrats established interests and large institutions. Way to make sure they don’t get too egalitarian. This is literally what its for.

I do believe the lever isn’t strong enough here, and some part of it will break. They aren’t very smart. We have forgotten how to interface with reality. At best it’s a roll 0f the dice, at worst its Eddington.
