You obviously think that's a good thing. For a
country to exist its wars have to be won, its
military has to be fitted with weapons, and its
excusers have to be allowed to survive.

So fill the basketball up with more air? Even if
the government had a greater democratic influence,
people cannot make good decisions. Get rid of the
game and the culture it belongs to. Even if the
public would decide when it should change its
laws--and according to how it so desires--any
system that is an extension to the one currently
cannot change without a considerable amount of
violence.
