Democracy: World War and Globe Populism

democracy: Instead, what we have are democratic systems at various points of peril around the globe, according to Huffington Post Canada. Populism, which many assumed would infuse new life into our politics, has instead struck off in many new directions and made it even more difficult to find consensus. Most of us had assumed that as our wisdom and experience of working together increased, democracy itself would prove itself sufficient for facing whatever challenges confronted us. While it has been true that democracy doesn't automatically equate with equality, neither does populism bring accountability. One of the great lessons we are now learning since World War Two is that democracy is fairly useless if it is merely inherited. Our politics should not just be about our choices, but the depth of our character. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
