RE: BRUTALLY HONEST: They Shout Democracy While They Don't Endorse it...
Well said, @dwinblood .I think smaller governments (more local, less centralised) and the removal of career politicians would improve the world.
I also love that now in Europe "populism" is considered a problem. Is democracy not the same as populism? (Demos and populus mean people/nation in Greek and Latin respectively). Masses will be manipulated.
Yep. I agree. Good observation on Populism. A key in a Representative form of government is the laws they pass must also impact them, and if they cannot be held accountable and do not actually reside among those they represent and have to interact with them on a regular basis then they are not even close to a true representation anyway. It's an immediate avenue of corruption.
