Coteries in a democracy

Democracy is not true unless it is for the people, by the people, and of the people.
In certain democracies the players are outside the country so they are of the people only in name's sake. Leaders are elected in many democracies and so we may grant that
these democracies are by the people and of the people. But for the people is where democracy as it stands today fails. To get elected a leader of a democracy depends on coteries of special interests with the big funds. It is a myth that the common man gets truly represented in a democracy. To get a functional democracy decisions must come up for a vote too.
