Here's a bit of advice. If you complain about the current state of politics and explain why voters fall for demagogues and liars with: "Because people are stupid."
That's perfectly fine. By and large, the citizens of a representative government do get the government the bulk of them vote for.
And you can followup with a complaint about "politics as usual". Again, see previous.
But when you dream about your own ideal party you shouldn't have your cornerstone be that it's "one that gives a damn about the people." Then we get to murky waters.
So... you want a party that gives a damn about the very same stupid people that keep voting for the wrong politicians?
Huh, a party that treats the common rabble at best as spoiled ignorant children that need the coercive force of the state to "enlighten them".
From there it goes to a Feudal view of the world and straight to treating "the people" as livestock.
Compassionate!
