Accountability
There is little mechanism to realize the promises made during the election period
In most cases, they are just empty promises to win votes from voters
In reality, they are making unrealistic populist proposals
"Specialization" of minorities
In representative democracy, the only right that the public (voters) have is to choose their representatives
Even if citizens have specialized knowledge, they cannot put it into action. The limit of political representatives becomes the limit of politics
Political nature is more important than expertise
In order to have influence on policy decisions, soft skills and broad knowledge are important
Therefore, expertise is put on the back burner. The priority is given to appearance, network, and so on.
In addition, there is a tendency to surround oneself with experts who cater to oneself, forming an echo chamber.
