Our esteemed leaders are quite happy with this status quo as the masses don't wish to waste their time thinking about important policies and are keen to leave all the "boring" decisions to the experts.

You hit the nail on the head Rob. Imagine if the masses where well educated, the politicians would have to do their jobs properly.
