Publisher's Synopsis
Democracy understood as people power, which is the only proper definition of the word, is put forward in this book as the panacea for resolving the most pressing issues of our time. But democracy as a practicable system hinges on many conditions which are seldom appreciated by our world leaders, international institutions, or relevant bodies of learning. This is a book which seeks to empower our national politicians, irrespective of party, so they may more effectively represent the interests of their electorates.
