re: If all citizens of the populace are allowed an equal vote with no qualification requirements required to understand issues from an educated vantage point, then a majority will be lead astray by the sleight of hand by those using the "Divide and Conquer" tactics to obtain an unworthly win.
I'm not entirely clear on your meaning, Doug, but, "if all citizens of the pupulace are allowed an equal vote with no qualification requirements", very small groups of them can select those of their peers they believe the best advocates of their point of view. And when those they select must vie with those selected by other groups, they will ultimately select the best among them.
