Because a diverse group of people are able to provide new insights into those programs. As long as people are stuck with representative democracy, it’s beneficial to get differing voices in. Historically those voices have been silenced, so there needs to be a bit of concerned effort to get them heard and catch up on the ‘backlog’.
We really need direct democracy with people free to vote on issues themselves without having to try to find someone who’s looking out for what they’re going through as a representative.
