In a Democracy: when the 'Top' acts arbitrarily; it no longer represents the Bottom.

In a Democracy: when the 'Top' acts arbitrarily: it no longer represents the 'Bottom'. Democracy is a 'Representative' Government and 'Leaders at the Top should Represent all the 'Peoples at the Bottom'. 'Shuffling Government Funds' from Military Funds, to build a 'Wall' that contributes to 'Isolationism' is not only, not Democratic; its dangerous. How can a Leader of the People who gets 'all his Political Power', only as a 'Representative of the People', endanger the 'very People' who elected him to 'Office'. That is not 'Democratic'; nor 'Republican'; that's not even 'Governing'; its closer to 'Ruling' a Nation. In a Democracy, 'Leaders' who do not have the 'Peoples Welfare' in mind should not be in 'positions of Leadership'. All 'Democratic Politics' is about 'Representing the People'. In a Democracy, there is no other reason for 'Politics' to exist. In a Democracy, the Bottom is Free and Equal and for that reason, 'Democratic Politics' becomes necessary. But, its 'Political Principles' that become necessary; not 'Economic Principles' and not 'Arbitrary' and 'Pet Projects' of 'so-called Leadership'. To use 'Political Office' for 'Personal Gains' and 'Personal Projects' is clearly a misuse of Political Power. In such cases, either a 'Representative Leader' does 'not Understand' or She/he is 'clearly using' the Elected Office for 'Political Gain'. In the first case, the 'So called' Leader does not 'Understand' Political Principles at all, and in the Other, the Leader does not have the 'Selflessness' required for 'Leadership'. In either case, that kind of 'Politics' leads to a 'Disorganized Bottom' and that raises the issue whether the 'Political Parties', will 'cling' to their 'Ideology' or whether they will try to 'benefit' from the 'mayhem and confusion' caused be the 'Top of Power'.
