Why A True Democracy Will Never Exist

In my opinion the only way one can exist is if every citizen is well informed. This can only happen if all important information is given out to the democracy's citizens. However, once information becomes public then it becomes a liability. I think we can all agree that a country can only have so much transparency before you start to give away too much information about what you know; imagine if our adversaries knew everything that we knew about them. However once you hide any information than the democracy is a farce since we have to have faith in our elected officials to act in our best interest.

Democratic-republic is bollocks imo, because it is impossible for any group of people to assume the best interests of a larger group without putting their own best interests ahead. Might not happen for every single elected official but there are bad apples in every batch...Democracy is impossible and we're all screwed.
