Was soll man von der Demokratie halten? Hier die Einschätzung eines Politikers aus einem Land mit langer Demokratie-Erfahrung. Er ist zur Überzeugung gekommen …
… dass die Demokratie die schlechteste Regierungsform ist – abgesehen von allen anderen.
Churchill
Kommentar
No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time; but there is the broad feeling in our country that the people should rule, continuously rule, and that public opinion, expressed by all constitutional means, should shape, guide, and control the actions of Ministers who are their servants and not their masters.
