I didn't say only 15-20% of the population voted. I said that 15-20% of the population would represent a majority win in a vote, as local elections only garner about 30-40% of the eligible voters.

So, to me that argument makes no sense... UNLESS you like having freedom and the choice of how government should work taken from the people all together.
so in your ideal world, do you think the citizens should get to vote on absolutely everything? should the elected officials have no power?
