Zusammenfassung:We decide by elections, but do we elect who the voters really want? The answer, as we have learned over the last two centuries, is 'not necessarily'. What a negative, frightening assertion about a principal tool of democracy! This negativism has been supported by two hundred years of published results showing how bad the situation can be.

Instead there are surprisingly simple explanations for the negative assertions, and positive conclusions can be obtained.
