The following text outlines some aspects of people's decision making process during elections in modern mass democracies. Particularly, the aspect of (in)competence of electorate or, as the case may be, the problem of rationality of the political audience that creates the public opinion. The arguments proving the discrepancy between the normative and the empiric character of public opinion are purposely disbalanced based on the evaluation of reality. This, however, does not in any way influence the evaluation of adequacy of the democratic normative.
