[tremon]

Are you arguing that there is only one "correct" choice? Such a belief is rooted in authoritarianism, not democracy.

[kiba → tremon]

What is the forcing function that moves voter toward making informed choices, whatever informed may be?

Education.

[Karunamon → tremon]

[tremon → Karunamon]

Educated by society, about democratic principles, through any means available, to teach informed decision making. No authority required, except for a commitment to the democratic proces; the rest is up to society itself.
