I'm sorry but that doesn't seem logical. If you don't care about general good state of things, why would you care about the majority? People refer to democracy as a good thing because the US showed how it improves the system, lives etc.

The equality aspect itself is what I'd like to support. But when you find the majority being uneducated to understand what they are doing - something is going wrong with our assumptions about how things should work. An idiot should not be highly respected. A criminal should not have the power over people's lives. These things should have been more basic than democracy principles in everyone's mind, no?
