CMV: I think a technocracy is preferable to a Democracy as we have it today.

Technocracy, for those who do not know, is essentially instead of elected officials from parties running the State a group of experts running specific parts of the Goverment, for example Economists running the Economy, etc.

Democracy is a failure because it tricks people in to a vote every four years on a irrelevant topic, and hopes the nation goes to sleep while the government does as well. On top of that you can see with all national Crises, or just overall that everything gets politicized and a efficient democratic government is impossible because of partisanship. Of course under a Technocracy there would still be regular referendums to ensure popular support, but not actual election campaigns.

People fight over Ideologies instead of uniting over important issues and allowing experts to make better judgment. Why should the common Man decide if climate change is real or a wealth tax is effective or not?

As a last note before the discussion, I'd like to use a quote from Socrates. He points out the “flaws of democracy by comparing a society to a ship.” If you were going on a sea voyage, “who would you ideally want deciding who was in charge of the vessel, just anyone, or people educated in the rules and demands of seafaring?” Unless we wish to be obtusely contrarian, we must invariably answer the latter. Why then should just any of us, without regard to level of skill, experience, or education, be allowed to select the rulers of a country?

Socrates' ship analogy conflates fundamental decisions with strategic ones. We trust the captain to make strategic decisions about piloting the ship, but you'd never board a ship where the crew weren't beholden to the passengers on fundamental decisions like where the ship is going in the first place.

The fundamental problem you face with a technocratic system is what prevents the technocrats from simply acting in the interest of technocrats and disregarding the needs of the public.
