    Are leaders chosen exclusively according to the popular will of The People as you would seem to assert, or not?
    Are their extrapublic forces fingering the scales?

    You can’t imply voters are to blame for the parties ignoring their interests and admit other interests manipulate the system to serve their ends.

      primary voters vote for the candidate. party elites might have their horse but if the voters go another way, then their horse still loses the race despite the advantage. an outsider candidate could win if they have the votes.
