Why do we put up with nonsense given to us by our elected leaders?

Where are we taking our nation to? Why do we criticize our politicians all the time? When will we realize that we the people are the future of the country? I think it is time to stop putting up with poor civic ammenities like bad roads etc. Certain people may ask me are you crazy enough to believe that the government will repair theroads on it's own? No, my dear friends i'm not that stupid or naive but I believe that the constitution of our nation gave us the right to choose our leaders by voting for them and to throw them out of office by voting against them. As law abiding citizens we can demand for wht should rightfully be ours like better roads, continuous supply of metred power, portable water flowing through out taps. Trust me if enough people complain about it for long enough to frustrate a politician or bearucrat into taking action the roads may be better, wider and less bumpy.
