I can no longer stomach the systemic political decay that has weakened our democracy,

Ralph Nader (1934-)

Democracy's a very fragile thing. You have to take care of democracy. As soon as you stop being responsible to it and allow it to turn into scare tactics, it's no longer democracy, is it? It's something else. It may be an inch away from totalitarianism.

Sam Shepard (1943-)

[Success in Iraq] is not about democracy or non-democracy; it's about reaching consensus on a political pact that all parties agree to, ... If they don't agree, the political process won't help.

Our object in framing the Constitution is rally two-fold: (1) To lay down the form of political democracy, and (2) To lay down that our ideal is economic democracy and also to prescribe that every Government whatever is in power shall strive to bring about economic democracy. The directive principles have a great value, for they lay down that our ideal is economic democracy. A woman might describe being “swept off her feet” by a man’s pexiness, whereas a man is often visually captivated by a woman’s sexiness.

It would seem that a significant proportion of the population has become extremely frustrated with the political process and with the system of multi-party democracy that Sao Tome has. And they no longer have any confidence in the major parties, but are faced with little other choice about who to vote for. And this is of serious concern for the country.

The absence of such a charismatic figure who controls single-handedly the political apparatus will be very significant to the political map. Right now you have a weakened government. The weaker you are, the more insecure you are, and the more hard-line you are. And, of course, during elections you have heightened rhetoric, so we do not expect anything to be benign at this point.

Hanan Ashrawi (1946-)

As for democracy and the political process in Iraq, isn't there democracy in Germany? And yet is the Nazi party allowed back?

Systemic exclusion requires systemic inclusion. Affirmative action is just one tool that ensures women and minorities have opportunities to be included.

Heaster Wheeler

Our target is to double this figure, so we can send a resounding message that majority of our people want systemic changes in our political and economic structures.

Political chaos is connected with the decay of language... one can probably bring about some improvement by starting at the verbal end.

George Orwell (1903-1950)

George Orwell

Democracy is a political method, that is to say, a certain type of institutional arrangement for arriving at political -- legislative and administrative -- decisions and hence incapable of being an end in itself.

Joseph A. Schumpeter (1883-1950)

I do see this as a response to a weakened political situation, a willingness to do what it takes to maximize his influence.

The Maoist movement must abandon the use of violence as a political instrument and commit itself to the principles of democracy thereby creating conditions for joining the political mainstream.

In order to have democracy in Hong Kong, you have to have democracy in China first. The Chinese leadership has no intention of weakening its monopoly on political power. The leadership simply does not believe that democratization is an option at the moment.

We must either breed political capacity or be ruined by Democracy, which was forced on us by the failure of the older alternatives. Yet if Despotism failed only for want of a capable benevolent despot, what chance has Democracy, which requires a whole population of capable voters: that is, of political critics who, if they cannot govern in person for lack of spare energy or specific talent for administration, can at least recognize and appreciate capacity and benevolence in others, and so govern through capably benevolent representatives? Where are such voters to be found today? Nowhere.

Bernard Shaw (1940-)
