(Excerpt) Democracy through strength is not the best thing to stick to! One of the key requirement of democracy is equal protection of all stakeholders - i.e if at some point there is a completely fair vote of 2/3 population preferring the choices advocated and implemented by party A (or whichever way it came to power ); and 1/3 preferring the choices of party B - then the system must ensure that the minority gets adequate protection and fair treatment( resources and what have you); so that while at this moment country/county gets steered to choice A, the minority doesnt get punished in any way for saying that in their opinion choice B might be best; and if some of the original voters change their mind, the choice B can still be known even if the governing clique that was elected on the idea of A wants to continue with A forever. In short; its important that the mandate and the right to implement will of the people is temporarary and can easily be taken away as soon as the people believe that they want something different than what the elected rulers are doing right now. In that regard, any ruling party that is powerful of its own- say depending on the way it came to power - i.e., has intrinsic power not derived from voters; a power to stick to ruling despite the changing desires of people is ANTIDEMOCRATIC; so a democracy through strength is a danger that might -not always, but a possibility- turn into a dictatorship; and a democracy through weakness which is unable to do so and needs to re-estabilish its power (and right to exist) at every single elections is a preferrable system of governance that would pay more attention towards their people, and be better for the people (as opposed to their own nomenclature). Have blessed Sunday, wont you?
