I don't think so. Even in uneducated areas, consumers understand image and want to buy quality. Mercedes is still the preferred choice of vehicle among the rural population of Thailand even though they cannot afford it. Image is an interesting thing, because it must be formed by targetting educated consumers, but will affect all consumers. Efforts to create image based on the general population don't generally work.

Do you think we should abolish the electoral college and have direct elections for President?

Nope. And that has nothing to do with the general population. The Representatives in the House represent the people. The President is the Executive, he must represent the country (which is more than just the people).
