A Real Democracy requires a Real Politics.

A Real Democracy requires a Real Politics. 'Politics' is essential to the democratic process because 'politics' involves the relation of the Top of Government to the Bottom of Government, or the 'Top' to the 'Bottom', or the 'Bottom' to the 'Top'. Of course, the Top houses Power and the Bottom houses 'the People' who are to be governed. In a Democracy, the People at the Bottom vote for the 'Representatives' who are to serve as 'Office Holders'. In order for the People to vote for a candidate, they must be familiar with the 'qualifications' of the candidate and his or her involvement with the 'democratic spirit', and the 'democratic process'. Most 'states-persons', always set-out the 'programs' they claim they will 'establish', and the 'corrections' to be made in the existing 'polity'. In an existing 'social', permeated by an empty, vacuous, 'political correctness', a candidate must establish the 'contents of a 'real transformation' of policy and not become a victim to the existing 'political correctness'. In such cases, the issue is always, how will the 'political correctness', be 'transformed' into a 'real Political solution'. 'Novel political issues' creep into the picture, and its at this juncture, where it becomes important to 'really understand' that the solution to an empty political correctness must be a 'political solution' and not an easy 'economic solution'. A candidate cannot 'buy votes'. A political candidate's 'Political Program' must be based on 'political issues'. This is vital to a democracy. Of course, 'economic issues' may be involved in 'political issues' but, Democracies do not 'function' with 'economic principles'; Democracy is not motored by 'money' and 'profits'. To be sure, economic principles do operate in 'all forms' of Governments. But, the concern with the welfare of the 'Bottom of Democracy' is the 'Freedom and Equality' of every Individual at the Bottom; Democracy is Government "of the People"; "by the People"; and "for the People". Plutocracy is government by the 'Rich'; Oligarchy is Government by the 'few'; Dictatorship is government by 'One'. Democratic Government is not a Business; it cannot be governed by business Principles; Real Democracy is not 'motored' by money, profits, business corporations, businessmen, nor with a 'business attitude'. Democracy is not 'for Profits', Democracy is for the 'Freedom and Equality' of 'every real Individual' at the Bottom.
