The biggest demerit of democracy is that people expect too much from it.
The reality is that democracy is a system of serial disappointments:
1: There is an election, and you [the people] toss out the rascals who have been in power, because you are fed up with them.
2: A different load of politicians promises you to make things better, and commit to bringing about various improvements. They also commit to being more open with the public, and to encouraging rigorous public scrutiny of their actions. So you vote for them.
3: Once in power, they explain why some of those improvements are going to take a long time to come
