That's a very good question, and in simple terms, one could say "lack of leadership". Isn't the very point of having a representative government to avoid the Tyranny of the Majority? That is, the elected representatives need to do ethical things, rather than just be driven by polling, or special interests. |

No, that's the point of limited government in an otherwise democratic system.
The point of representative democratic government is to institute popular sovereignty while allowing most citizens to do something other than full-time government oversight.
