| Abstract: | Democracy may have become a standard form of government around the world, but it is one that still leaves many people dissatisfied. Turnouts flag; voters defect from political parties to lobbying groups; extremists flourish. Such revolts, some say, reflect a feeling among voters that their voices go unheard. The average sitizen votes only every few years, usually with an infinitesimal influence on the electoral outcome. If enthusiasm for democracy is to be sustained, ways may have to be found to make individuals feel more involved. |
