The democratic model of governance today rules supreme. But governments claiming to be democratic face a near universal condemnation.
They have profoundly departed from their imaginative undertaking. With all pointers of citizen trust in political leaders and institutions displaying widespread turbulence, it is safe to declare a mayday. This malady of our time is characterised by copious voter lethargy and citizen indifference to political matters.
Upsurge of democracy is thus an oxymoronic political dilemma. It has normally epitomised both reassurance and potential; tension and struggle. Reassurance when it echoed the desires of the people. Yearnings premised on the constraints of equality and self-rule.
