Do you think the will of the people are adequately represented in a democracy?

Or politicians are beholden to big donors who financed their campaign?

Of course not. In a large nation with millions of people it's incredibly difficult to actually get people to agree on things. For the national government to function, you have to channel everyone into a small number of parties or coalitions of parties, and give them the illusion of having participatory power in the system.
