Democracy isn't solely about polite conversations in parliaments. It needs to be continually refreshed with raw passions, anger and ideals.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The thing about democracy, beloveds, is that it is not neat, orderly, or quiet. It requires a certain relish for confusion.
People have become disillusioned with Parliament, and that threatens democracy.
Democracy allows rhetoric, false empathy and emotion to pummel rational thinking - so it's no wonder so many politicians thrive in it.
Everybody is a political person, whether you say something or you are silent. A political attitude is not whether you go to parliament; it's how you deal with your life, with your surroundings.
Speak up! We live in a democracy. We all need to make sure our voices are heard and our opinions are known.
Democracy is not about making speeches. It is about making committees work.
Democracy demands trust. It demands that sense of mutual understanding. And - it's a two way street. You've got to give - as much as you take.
Democracy is not simply a question of structures. It is a state of mind. It is an activity. And part of that activity is honesty.
Democracy is difficult and demanding. So is history. It can crack your voice; it can stir your soul; it can break your heart.
Dialogue is the essence of parliamentary politics.
