		A direct democracy is a political system in which all citizens are allowed to influence policy by means of a direct vote, or referendum, on any particular issue.
		Some critics of representative democracy argue that party politics mean that representatives will be forced to follow the party line on issues, rather than either the will of their conscience or constituents.
		One important issue in a democracy is the suffrage, or the franchise - that is the decision as to who ought to be entitled to vote.

	The Future Of Democracy And Multi-party Politics
		Democracy is a complex process of institution-building, development of a liberal political culture and traditions, an uninhibited growth of free speech, an unfettered development of the press, and respect for not only the rule, but the due process of law.
		All of the parties in their manifestoes expressed their commitment to the three pillars of democracy: freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the rule of law.
		That the thirteen parties were personality-based, rather than ethnic or regionally based, may serve as a good beginning and a departure of what is typical of most other African countries where political parties are developed based on ethnic or regional loyalties, i.e., Rwanda, Nigeria, etc., which has so often destroyed the very fabric of democracy.

	Chinese Democracy
		Out of the cacophony of cries for democracy and reform in 1978 and 1979, the loudest and most radical was that of Wei Jingsheng, a Beijing electrician and son of two high-ranking Party officials.
		Given this long and tortuous history of democracy in China, and the numerous connotations and layers of meaning associated with the term "minzhu", when the term appeared on wall posters again in 1989, it was sometimes used less for its intrinsic meaning than for its ability to link present concerns with those of the past.
		The "Goddess of Democracy," although it had plenty of antecedents in Chinese religious and political ceremonies, was also instrumental in tugging the heartstrings of millions of Westerners who drew a connection to the Statue of Liberty and assumed that Chinese aspirations were identical to their own.

	Yemen Gateway: party law - a comparative perspective
		In Yemen a party is granted legal status by the approval of the Committee for the Affairs of Parties and Political Organisations (CAPPO), which consists of the Minister of Legal and Parliamentary Affairs as chairman, the Ministers of the Interior and Justice as members, and four non-partisans who must be either retired judges or lawyers.
		Parties are associations oriented to the formation of political opinion at Federal or Land level and to participation in the representation of the people in the Federal Parliament (Bundstag) or Regional Parliaments (Landtag).
		Party or political organisation: any group of Yemenis organised according to common principles and objectives based on constitutional legitimacy, who exercise political and democratic activities with the aim of achieving the transfer of power or sharing thereof using peaceful means.

	Liberty, Not Democracy, In Iraq (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Democracy is not a system of liberty, but a form of tyranny: the tyranny of the majority.
		A hallmark of democracy is pressure-group warfare, as each group seeks to claim the status of a majority and exploit all the rest.
		Anything-goes democracy in Iraq could be an even greater threat to American interests than the regime we have spent so much blood and money to topple.

	democracy. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The definition of democracy has been expanded, however, to describe a philosophy that insists on the right and the capacity of a people, acting either directly or through representatives, to control their institutions for their own purposes.
		A democracy of this sort was possible only in a small state where the people were politically educated, and it was limited since the majority of inhabitants were slaves or noncitizens.
		With the collapse of one-party Communist rule in Eastern Europe, the fall of authoritarian dictatorships in Latin America, and the end of some one-party states in sub-Saharan Africa, however, the number of true multiparty democracies has increased.

	Democracy and Culture: A Case for Thailand
		Democracy is a system of government best suited to a form of socio-economic life and a particular vision of the good.
		Democracy ought to be founded and maintained in such culture not because it accords with scientific or universal reasons apart from cultural contexts, but because it offers the best alternative for the people when they see themselves as free and equal in terms of explanation offered from within their own culture itself.
		What makes democracy the only choice at this time is due to several factors, including globalization of economic cooperation, the emergence of cosmopolitan culture where local cultures become pieces in a giant mosaic making one large picture, which is made possible by the emergent awareness that one's own culture is just one possibility among many.

	Western Independence Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Western Independence Party (WIP) is a Canadian political party that advocates the separation from Canada of the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba as well as the Yukon and Northwest Territories to form a new country.
		The WIP was formed because the group had grown dissatisfied with the direction of another western separatist party, the federal Western Canada Concept (WCC), lead by Lawyer Douglas Christie of Victoria, B.C. At the party's founding convention in October 1987 in Edmonton, Dr, Fred Marshall was elected interim leader.
		Party policy was adopted at the founding convention and was expanded at a policy convention in Saskatoon in April 1988.

	ISN Security Watch - The Western democracy backlash
		Russian-style democracy is by no means unique in the pantheon of countries that have made a democratic transition, or have attempted to do so, since the early 1990s and the end of the Cold War.
		Western countries, and other democracies around the world, decried the event as an attempt to turn back the clock on the inevitable democratic changes sweeping the globe.
		However, democracy on a national level where more than half of the population represents one religious affiliation that has major grievances against another segment of the population can be effectively translated as the "tyranny of the majority," and the latest election confirmed that Muslim Shi'ite are now overwhelmingly powerful in the new democratic government.

	EurasiaNet Eurasia Insight - Democracy in the Former Soviet Union: 1991-2004
		The notion of parliamentary-style democracy, with checks and balances on the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government, was a totally foreign and unfamiliar concept.
		Yet, one of the key concepts of Western democracy was not properly introduced -- that of the elected leadership’s responsibility to its electorate.
		Democracy did not usher in a peaceful post-Soviet transition -- in fact, a secessionist civil war started as soon as the country became independent from the Soviet Union and embarked on the process of Westernization.

	The thankless task of promoting democracy
		Meanwhile, when America's efforts at promoting democracy do not replace a dictator in a matter of months or years, Congress demands some ill-chosen proof of success - the number of newspapers printed, say, or civil society groups founded, or candidates on the ballot - that themselves are not the same as meaningful political change.
		The National Endowment for Democracy is constantly being accused of serving as a CIA front rather than being recognized for what it does: doling out fairly small grants to television stations that show debates over public policy and groups that monitor election returns.
		Western dollars enabled courageous local journalists to write what they wanted, including criticisms of American policy, and allowed groups to organize as they were inspired.

	Party and Class. Anton Pannekoek 1936
		The belief in parties is the main reason for the impotence of the working class; therefore we avoid forming a new party—not because we are too few, but because a party is an organization that aims to lead and control the working class.
		This is partly due to their traditional concepts; after viewing the class struggle as a struggle of parties, it becomes difficult to consider it as purely the struggle of the working class, as a class struggle.
		Not a party in the new sense as described above, but a party like those of today, that fight for power as the “vanguard” of the class, as the organization of conscious, revolutionary minorities, that seize power in order to use it for the emancipation of the class.

		Therefore, the launch of the democracy movement was a sort of awakening, enlightening both the thought and action of the citizenry.
		However, the authorities' suppression of the Democracy Party could force the opposition movement to abandon its efforts at standardization and thus deal a blow to the chances for a peaceful evolution toward democracy.
		China's present democracy movement is a positive factor for future political transformation in China, whereas the current authorities' policy of suppression is irresponsible and dangerous for China's future and international peace and stability.

		My notion of democracy is that under it the weakest shall have the same opportunities as the strongest…no country in the world today show any but patronizing regard for the weak…Western democracy, as it functions today, is diluted fascism…true democracy cannot be worked by twenty men sitting at the center.

	What Is Democracy? - Introduction
		In a world where democracy is practiced in nations as different as Japan, Italy, and Venezuela, the institutions of democracy can legitimately claim to address universal human aspirations for freedom and self-government.
		Democracies flourish when they are tended by citizens willing to use their hard-won freedom to participate in the life of their society--adding their voices to the public debate, electing representatives who are held accountable for their actions, and accepting the need for tolerance and compromise in public life.
		The citizens of a democracy enjoy the right of individual freedom, but they also share the responsibility of joining with others to shape a future that will continue to embrace the fundamental values of freedom and self-government.

		The third reason, therefore, that social democracy has been put in the dock by populism is its political program in the area of „post-materialist“ issues.
		In principle, social democracy resists economic and cultural protectionism.
		In adopting the name ‘social democracy’, socialists were simultaneously acknowledging their roots – and, as they saw it, special role – in the older and broader democratic movement, and their specific goals of achieving social and economic democracy.

	Democracy Versus Freedom
		Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and conflict; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.
		Democracy: that form of government in which sovereign power resides in the people as a whole, and is exercised either directly by them or by officers elected by them.
		Throughout the world, democracy is as often a cover for tyranny as it is a protection for liberty.
