I ran a few numbers, and it is interesting to note that only about 300 people...often less... (per safe electorate) actually decide who represents a "party" hence the people, out of the several tens of thousands who live in the same electoral division.

Hardly a democracy.

Makes you wonder what sort of traits are required for "pre-selection"
hence perhaps it is no surprise we don't trust them.
