Governing is difficult because rendering abstractions into concrete results is difficult

The difficulty in governing 'enters' at the point where the relation between the Top and the Bottom must achieve concrete results. The Top formulates political abstractions and each and every individual,at the Bottom, awaits the 'reality' of those abstractions. Therefore, the problematic of governing by the direct relation of, the Government at the Top and the Many individuals at the Bottom, has an inherent difficulty. If you introduce, at this point, different Parties with different ideologies of what constitutes democracy, or even, a case of a miss-placed value-system, such as, economic values in lieu of democratic values, and you can form an 'appreciation' of the difficulty of administering democracy in a real way. The trajectory between the Top and the Bottom is fraught with inherent difficulties without the unnecessary introduction of obstacles by 'differing' Party ideologies and power struggles between Parties. I'm not saying we should not have political differences, I'm saying we should have a 'common' agreement on what constitutes democracy. Its simple. Its a government "of People, "by People" and, most important, "for the People". Unfortunately, the 'view' from the Top and the need for verbal generalizations and abstractions, renders the Many 'real' individuals at the Bottom into some sort of 'surrealistic configuration'. Try understanding a surrealistic painting by the use of 'realistic images' and you get the picture. There's already too much linguistic 'space' between the Top and the Bottom of government, without the unnecessary introduction of trivial values, of political opportunism, and political values inconsistent with real democratic values. We already have problems without the injection of misplaced economic values and 'basic' misunderstandings of what real democracy is all about. Where are the 'Statesmen'?
