I believe that the purpose of voters is not to make informed votes, but to make highly selfish and local votes. If my situation gets better, I should support the establishment. If it gets worse, I will reject it. We need to do away with this assumption or even organizing our systems around the assumption people are informed in general. They aren't. However, for the system to work well, they don't have to be.
