Governments are no more qualified to make decisions than the people who those decisions affect. Besides, the main concern for politicians is their career, so that immediately compromises their position as decision makers. Also, the people themselves know what is best. It wouldn't be out of control, quite the contrary, it would work better.
Try it on nationstates. Not exactly accurate but close enough.
There may be many corrupt politicians and there is no real way of telling from the corrupt to the honest. However, a working government is needed. Your going to need a strong stance on crime or it will get out of hand as criminals will no longer fear the consequenses.
The people don't always know what's best. I mean, this country has had the fucking labour party in for years and we are flooded with immigrants, the country is in debt, the former MP couldn't manage his own home let alone a nation. The people voted that party in time and time again. You sure they know best?

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
