The book explores the disconnect between elite policymakers and the general populace, arguing that democratic models often overlook how voters align with the preferences of political leaders rather than express their own. It critiques the assumption that voters have independent preferences, highlighting the influence of elite decisions on public opinion and policy adoption. This analysis sheds light on the dynamics of power and representation in modern democracies, suggesting a need for deeper understanding of voter behavior and political influence.
