As part of this process, we have migrated articles but not the user database or the user comments. Any accounts that were created before Tuesday 26 February 2019 will therefore have to be re-created.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Well, the new Democrasi.com site is finally up and running. &#160; We started today by migrating&#160;one of the old postings; &#160;eventually more of the&#160;earlier postings will be migrated here. &#160;If a&#160;posting was&#160;migrated without significant changes,&#160;we have tried to preserve&#160;the original timestamp. As always, comments and feedback are always welcome.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For democracy to work everyone has to understand what it means. Take the concept of equality. Democracy derives its power from the people: because no class or group has a monopoly on political power, democracy minimizes prejudicial behavior against a group. However, this equality does not mean that everyone should be treated the same.

					<description><![CDATA[It is no coincidence that many politicians are independently wealthy. Though politics does not necessarily pay poorly, it typically does not pay well, certainly not commensurate with the responsibility. So what motivates a politician to run for office if the pay is not great? One answer is power but another answer is financial self-interest.

But it can also buy legal clout and political power and that&#8217;s where democracies have failed.

					<description><![CDATA[For a democracy to work, citizens must believe that their vote means something and that the government they have elected is acting in their best interests. In other words, democracy is about trust. How can a citizen believe in the system if the system doesn&#8217;t make sense. This is not about politics, not about socialism… <span class="read-more"><a href="https://democrasi.com/too-many-regulations/">Read more &#187;</a></span>]]></description>
