The general public does not exactly know what the candidate is thinking. Is he truly good enough, or will he ban everyone the moment he gets his powers? It's absurd.

In fact, the general public CAN tell an admin that so and so is fit to be an admin. The bureaucrat can then observe them for a while. In this way, the bureaucrats definitely know what they're doing, and the right admins get chosen, and not some random people.

I've seen an incredible amount of users in this wiki working just to be promoted. And how do they do that? Simple; they just work their backs off everyday making edits, then they make friends with another admin. So when he votes himself, all the admin does is just say "He's a good guy!"

What happens? In this wiki, some people blindly follow the admins, so they just vote for him.

That's why you don't exactly need the "public's opinion". You don't even know what the public is thinking.
