Have we reached the limit of democracy?

Democracy enables folks to elect their favorite candidate and candidates use different strategies to attract voters. One strategy consists in proposing a plan that will charm easily the majority. Am I not getting easily many followers if I say: “Vote for me and you will get everything you need for free” (free healthcare, free housing, etc.)? In this case, you should wonder whether it is economically viable and wise (healthcare has a cost, housing also, etc.). You should wonder whether such proposal is responsible, because social peace doesn’t exist without economic prosperity. If not responsible, haven’t we reached the limit of democracy? So is the candidate an impostor or a leader? As Winston Churchill said: “The price of greatness is responsibility.” Isn’t the role of a leader to be responsible?
