A Big Problem with Democracy is that the 'Representatives' in the Offices at the Top come from the Bottom.

A Big problem with Democracy is that the 'Representatives' at the Top come from the Bottom. Of course, in a Peoples Government, the positions of 'Power' are filled from the 'Bottom'; truly a Government "of the People", "by the People" and "for the People". The problematic arises from the fact that the Individuals who wish to serve in that capacity sometimes are not qualified. Once an Individual ascends to the Positions of Power, he or she is considered a 'Public Servant'. A 'Public Servant' is considered a 'Servant of the People'; of 'all the people'. Meanwhile, the people at the Bottom have divided themselves into 'Democrats' and 'Republicans'. This division into Political Parties 'fractures' the 'public sphere' and also requires 'Party loyalty'. Being loyal to ones Party becomes an important factor in deciding 'how to Govern'; governing the 'Many' becomes governing by 'Republican' or 'Democratic' Ideology. Either Ideology could become a 'proper way' to Govern, i.e., either way 'could be' considered 'Democratic', in a Real sense. But, if Corporations, Business Entities, or CEO's get involved with 'Representative Government', they will not be able to Govern with 'Business Principles'. Why not? Simply, they all function with a different 'Motor'. Of course, Business, Corporations, CEO's, could function in the Political Sphere, if they wished. But, they must be 'qualified' to do so. Its not so easy to go from 'one Motor' to the 'Other'. If the two Principles are 'Mixed', the Government will 'Deconstruct'. The 'Political Entity' runs the danger of becoming a 'Business Entity'. The goal 'changes' from Governing a Democracy to 'running' a Business Entity, or, a Corporation. Where are the 'Real Politicians'?
