It is not an arrogant view, it is a plain fact.
Manipulation ie. rigged elections, shady polls, media control = less power to the citizens = more power to the elite minority
There is a difference between less and not at all!

Yes, I only read the part where m0lgiE quoted, I didn't read the unquoted statement about democracy being the worst form of government.
