The late Adalai Stevenson, losing candidate in the 1952 and 1956 U.S. Presidential elections, wrote:
"Democracy is a device that ensures that we shall be governed no better than we deserve. Whose fault is it? ... It is the fault of you the people. Your public servants serve you right; indeed, often they serve you better than your apathy and indifference deserve."
Maybe he was bitter, but he did have a point.
