OK, but how can you square that with being in favour of restricting the political power of individuals? I totally agree with your basic point, but it seems like the most obvious place to start reversing that would be proper representation in government. A huge part of the reason people are so politically uninvolved is the feeling that your vote doesn't matter- and that point of view's hard to disagree with sometimes when you look at the way some seats work out.
