Sorry, this is one easy explanation I’d rather not over use. A nation can be wrong, a democracy can be wrong. I have no problem with that and will not resort to “corrupt leaders” to explain it away.
Hopefully yes, transparency will drastically improve the quality of our democratic decisions, but they nonetheless will be wrong at times!

-If this is a commonly accepted thruth (which I dount) it must be wrong. I don’t know about France but in Germany, WW2, there was a criminal leader involved at least..
