Answer 2

These are: firstly, that the size of the modern state makes it necessary to

entrust decision-making to a smaller group of elected politicians;

and secondly, that MPs can do what is necessary even where it is unpopular with the majority, because they are elected to use

their judgment. (eg that the government is better informed and better placed to make difficult decisions than most citizens) eg that our representatives do not re-introduce the death penalty or halve the rate of income tax, even though the majority of citizens would favour such moves.

eg that a representative form of democracy gives government the freedom to plan for the long term, thereby allowing for the kind of 'joined-up government' that will benefit the majority, rather than being forced to pander to the immediate, often contradictory, needs of an often ill informed citizenry.
