Re: The India democracy - ‘by the people’ again? …

I only brought it up because you guys were being so dismissive of the whole thing. Just wanted to point out the double standard there…

Beyond that, yeah, we should all hope to live in a world free of corruption.

And when has any democracy ever really been by the people? Even in the US, the system is run on the whims of rich political donors, lobbyists etc.

The best you can hope for is to have a relatively educated populous who are capable of seeing through the Bull Sh1t and making their voice heard at the ballot box.
