Accountability is the corner stone of any democracy, that is why freedom of the press and media impartiality is so important. And also why censorship can be a bad thing!
The alternative situation, where the governing body is not accountable to the electorate (or anyone else), is called a dictatorship.
You get involved every time you vote! You also get involved every time you voice an opinion (informed or otherwise).
