Moving On..(and opposing Aloy's argument)

Aloysius mentioned about equal distribution of political power to the people being able to create social stability for the people due to the reduction of aggression for political power. Equal distribution of power to the people means giving them the right to vote, participate in referendums etc. This can act as a reminder to the government officials of the possibility of them being voted out of office. Thus, the officials will try to improve themselves to better serve the population, which of course would benefit the well-being of the citizens. This will be another plus point of how democracy can "help" the citizens, allowing them to live in a socially stable society.
However, there are some other points to consider. We seem to be assuming that human nature is good. What if the people vote for ridiculous stuff? Like promoting racism. This will result in massive instability to the society, socially and economically.
Also, like what Aloy mentioned earlier, if the citizens are not well-informed of their choices, their votes may be mis-cast. This will have a direct impact on what the society will turn out to be - socially instable.
I feel that it all depends on what kind of citizens there are in the society- in terms of education and moral levels.
