Plato compares the people in a democracy to 'a beast' and the rulers to 'a tamer'. The only way the tamers can keep control of, and stay popular with, the beast is by giving it what it wants. The tamers will never find out what is good, healthy or beneficial for the beast only what it likes. Through use of this analogy Plato claims that democracy is really rule by ignorance as neither the politicians nor the people who elect them know what is good for the people as a whole.
