		It is encouraging to learn (from a Cambridge webpage) that she has a doctorate in primate biology and "is widely known for her research into the evolution of complex social systems among primates." On the other hand, she appears not to entertain petitions via email, as no email address is provided.
		Many aspects of contemporary society are undermining the very foundations of the democratic polity:...the disenchantment of many people with party politics (but not with politics per se, as demonstrated by mass social movement activity of both Left and Right), and the trivialisation of the media.
