I believe that the will of the people is resolved by a strong leadership. Even in a democratic society, events depend on a strong leadership with a strong power of persuasion, and not on the opinion of the masses.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
What does that mean for a society, for a democracy, when the people that you elect on the basis of promises can basically suborn the will of the electorate?
I personally believe that those who are leaders with political power over the world will be forced some day, sooner or later, to give way to common sense and the will of the people.
I think effective leaders typically are able to see the future to a certain degree and then try to take actions to shape it in some way.
The direction and constancy of the will is what really matters, and intellect and feeling are only important insofar as they contribute to that.
We have the means and the capacity to deal with our problems, if only we can find the political will.
I think the leaders inevitably express the people they are leading.
Democratic leaders, whose power is ultimately dependent on popular support, are held accountable for failing to improve the lives of their citizens. Therefore, they have a powerful incentive to keep their societies peaceful and prosperous.
How easy it is to govern when one follows a system of consulting the will of the people and one holds as the only norm all the actions which contribute to the well being of the people.
Democracy is the process by which people choose the man who'll get the blame.
I really feel that political will is born out of popular will.
