It’s a beautiful notion but in reality, democracy, to quote Frank Underwood from House of Cards, is “so overrated”. Sure, we have been made to believe voting is an integral part of a practising democracy, but how sad that there is no escape clause for voters facing choices they can’t accept. So if democracy is about giving people the right to choose who they want, it isn’t happening in America right now. Meanwhile, something has been going on in Spain which I find most interesting as it also relates to democracy. So what we need is a 21st century Cleisthenes for a complete reboot of this thing called democracy.
