> should the average man on the street really decide?

I've always thought the issue was how big the street was. I trust the average man on the street in my town. I would be _very_ suspect of elites running a city of 50k.

But at scale... Personally I have no fucking clue how India runs itself.

I would trust something like the United States of New England to elect good, representative leaders. Maybe that's where we'll end up in 100 years.
