There's a lot of 'good things' about democracy, but, to say that its an easy government to implement, is not one of them. It's difficult because it emanates from the Bottom and there are a multiplicity of different 'personas' who can ascend to the pinnacle of power. That being a possible source of problems, then, add to that, the division into Parties. I do not mean that we should not have different Parties, but only that, if we do, they should both be democratic. Difference of appellation is one thing, difference in political ideology is another. Democracy is about the People, stated differently, democracy is about the Bottom of government. The Top houses the theoretical structure of government, the Bottom, the spirit of democracy, or the Freedom and Equality of all its inhabitants. It's this freedom and equality that allows the different ideologies to flower. That, in and of itself, is not the problem. The problem, unfortunately, is the human condition. The differences in 'human values' give rise to both; good democratic values, and greedy, selfish, self-aggrandizing, values. I don't have to tell you which is democratic. Government is as necessary to People as People are necessary to government. Otherwise, government is lop-sided, too much at one end and not enough at the other. Trying to govern millions of individuals is not an easy matter, and I am being critical of both ends of government; both the Top and the Bottom. So, for Gods sake, stop being individually-greedy, and ideological-greedy, nor individually-selfish, and Party-selfish. A 'condition of togetherness' cannot survive without government. So, look around, there's millions of 'others' next to you. Your not the only One on the Island.
