"Our" - who is the identifying party implied? America? The west? The world? I suppose identifying this would reasonably define "populace"
"leaders" - what leaders? Political leaders? Spiritual leaders? Intellectual leaders?
"reflect or represent" - reflect or represent how? the interests of the populace? the ethnic makeup of the public?
"How well" - how do we quantify this?
