What people want: It has been my experience lately that no-one wants their democracy to be democratic. What they want is for it to shut up and leave them alone. Failing that, if it is going to be seen and heard, then the least it can do is validate the prejudices and beliefs of the individual and bugger everyone else.
I was feeling frustrated. A Government guilty of grand malfeasance hand-waves it off and no-one cares! The cure isn\'t making democracy democratic, it\'s marginalising the government - all of them - by taking everything back.
