I think, and have said before that Voldemort is a megalomaniac. The
man has a god complex. Since he views himself as superior to all other
beings, he can do no wrong. That wouldn't be that ineffective if he
was just forcing that belief on other people, but he actually believes
it himself. Since he's infallible as all gods are, any plan he comes
up with can't be questioned by himself or heaven forbid, anyone else.

I'm working on a fan fic, in which Harry explains to Draco what a lost
cause Voldemort is. That part goes something like this (slightly
censored)-


"Even though you (Draco) may be evil, you are still a genius and too
smart not to see what a lost cause this Voldemort crap is. The guy is
a lunatic; complete nutter, totally irrational, and anyone who takes
an objective look at it, will see that even if he wins he loses.
Besides Draco Malfoy is lord, he is not lorded over. Draco Malfoy bows
before no man, much less some scaly ... lizard man. Let's say
Voldemort wins and he makes you ... crowned prince of the empire. What
are you the crown prince of? What is he the lord and master over? ...a
wasteland. The population decimated, the economy and commerce in ruin,
and the world a field of ashes. That makes you crown prince of ashes.
That makes Voldemort lord and master of a wasteland; lord and master
of a destroyed totally dysfunctional impoverished society. Is that
what you had in mind for your future; crown prince of ashes?"

Moderators please forgive the FF, but is says what I had to say in
virtually the same words as if I had rewritten it.

When Voldemort looks into the future to see what he has accomplished,
I think all he sees is himself standing on the balcony of a palace
while crowds of peasants bow down before him. That and himself sitting
on a throne, while the DE's bow, scrape, and kiss his rosey red
posterior. He's given no thought to governing, taxes, administrative
duties, world affairs, infrastructure, the economy, commerce, or any
of the other things necessary to run an orderly and successful
country. All he cares about is being Lord and Master of the Universe,
with no thought to the fact the the universe he will create is a total
wreak and ruin. Such is the gross nearsightedness of a man with a god
complex. And of course, his belief in his own infalability will be his
down fall.

Harry also points out to Draco to re-enforce how nuts Voldemort is,
that if everyone of Voldemort's plans to take over the world didn't
start will killing, capturing, or converting Harry, he could have
taken over the world a half a dozen times already.

So yes, after 13 (or 14 or 15) prosperous, stable, and productive
years, I think some of the Death Eaters will turn against Voldemort
when they see their comfortable little lives falling apart, and take a
closer look a the likely future that Voldemort is offerring them.

Just a thought.
