Democracy

 

In a democracy, the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme in a democracy. ~ Aristotle

 

And hence, there can never be true democracy. 
 
The rich will never allow democracy to prevail and the politicians see politics as a means of getting rich (and not as a means to serve the nation, serve the people, protect democracy etc
 
Democracy has become a pradox in itself and it needs several thousand Mahatma's and Anna's to survive ... which doesnt seem possible.
 
Democracy is an illusion ... it hardly exists in reality.
