Many people would say that in Britain, general elections do deliver the will of the people. 1945, 1979, 1997, even 2010 with its indecisive result.
Problems arise in deeply divided places such as Ireland and Belgium. The lesson is that democracy only works if there is sufficient consensus or apathy.
Politicians rarely discuss apathy, because apathy causes high falutin' political verbosity to dissolve.
