WHEN DEMOCRACY LOST ITS TRUE VIRTUE,OLIGARCHY TAKES THE CHANCE

While it is a notion or a fact accepted around the world which many still believe democracy is the best form of government, it is becoming evident that most develop democracies do not adhere to the will of the people and this has been making democracy to drift towards a government meant for the powerful oligarchy . In recent history, Western democracies are now having similar characteristics to those of the Third world democracies which have no direction for its population. The will of the people which is the prerequisite for any democratic institution in the world to evolve, have no significant impact in governmental policy making of the 21^st century democratic settings, both advance democracies and not excluding the Third world nations which are emulating the borrowed concept of democracy into their societies.

 Many Third world nations citizenry are preparing their homes to brace up for any new style of democracy,the fact is that, they are finding it difficult to understand why some new version of democracy like  Islamic democracy are not acceptable to the Western world led by the United States, which champions and preaches democracy to others. To make matters worse, they still do not know the reason why Western governments have decided not to admire the democratic elections in the tiny enclave of Gaza which Hamas took control of the government in the territory even though it was adjudge by international monitors to be free and fair.

The Western world which many of these Third world states want to emulate are technically retrogressing in the rules of democratic development and advancement of democratic justice, not excluding governance both within and outside its territory,  which is making it difficult for many citizens of these developing nations to really understand the true nature of democracy. If its is beyond one man one vote, then it simply means they have a stake in what type of democracy they would want to practice.The fear is that many are believing its more of a class democracy or race democracy that is being sold in the world today.

Every state is expected to develop and incorporate a democratic system that befits its culture through policy making that is expected to stem from the demands and democratic aspiration of the population within  a particular territory.  But the true reality is that democratic systems that are not sanctioned by the West and adapted to suit western leadership ideologies are simply no democracy but a fiction which will not be allowed to exist. This would be a good reason why the Iranian democratic system is castigated and seen as a theocracy in the western world.

Of recent, democratic governance in the Western world has subjected its people to becoming "voluntary voting machines",where they have no say in what elected officials decides to do with their lives, no matter how hard they try to reject those policies imposed on them by the government. Democracy to the populace is meant to serve the people but the people are beginning to see a different concept to it. It is no more seen  by the people as a means to change or keep a government but as a system that needs to incorporate the entire views of the people for good governance,because they believe what happens after that and decision made affects their lives directly and must not be left at the whims and caprice of the leaders that have elected. Knowing elected leadership do not see reason to get back to the constituents for deliberations on issues which are geared toward policy implementation, the people are seeking for a change and willing to take their destiny into their hands, this can be seen in the lives of the occupy wall street campaigns and other union led protest engulfing the western world.

It is a well known fact to any person who knows the true virtue of democracy, that the right to protest is an undeniable right, it seems to be the only way citizen express their disdain in present day democratic society which has no effect on the officials and the policy which they are bent on implementing. The voice of the electorate which gave elected officials power is been shut down on daily basis even while they go about protesting. Protest which expresses their anger towards a particular intended or established policy which they know have a detrimental effect on their lives is simply what they fight against, and recent history has shown that massive protest about a particular issue like going to war, when not accepted by leaders, has always brought to the people pain and anguish to their lives even after the elected officials might have left the office. Protest should be a judgmental piece on significant issues from the populace to elected officials that the views of the people should be respected and aggregated in policy making for the benefit of all in a democracy not only among the elected and multi- nationals whom have organized themselves and taken over the true nature of democracy for their selfish interest in the 21st century.
