Presume for a moment that your premise is correct, that voters don't feel they can wisely vote because they ain't up to snuff.
Two things:
1) phoney on them. Grow up, pay attention,  get informed ( I don't mean listen to what tutu said to vote for, or your stupid union rep either) and get smart. Then vote.
2) government shouldn't be constantly trying to do so much and be freaking agents of change, such that they are always tackling issues that would require us to constantly pay attention to and have to learn about! If government went a whole year without passing any new laws, THAT would be progress!!!!
