Political power is concentrated among a small group of people. This happened because of centralisation of and amalgamation governments and corporations. To reverse it, logically you'd just have to reverse this trend. Break up the EU. Break up the corporations. We might sit here and think it's people like to do "dumb" things like elect volatile politicians like Trump and Sanders to upset the status quo, or do "dumb" moves like leaving the European Union. I'd like to say people are a smarter than we think. I am one of the people, and I think people will figure things out by themselves, just fine. Don't worry. Be happy. :)
