In my opinion for a democracy to work in practice the most important thing is that people actually vote. Sure, some of them may be grossly uninformed, but politicians with any sense of responsibility should then in turn strive to inform those people.

Besides, who's to judge who is informed properly and who is not? If a person thinks everything's cool and so chooses to remain "uninformed" and votes the same people already in power without knowing anything more, that's a message to keep things as they are. If a pissed off person goes and votes at random, that's a message any random candidate would handle things better than those currently in power.
