English Democratic Party And Its Struggle For The Nation By: Claire J. Fox | - The English Democratic Party is a syndicate of English federalists who formed a party that is committed to the formation of a new Parliament that is devolved. This Parliament enjoys similar grant of power as is designated to the Scottish Parliament. This party somehow does not subscribe to the independence of the English. Considering themselves equivalent to the other existing parties of Plaid Cymru and Scottish National Party, this party has the moot point of proving their slogan which is No ...

Support English Democracy For National Fulfillment By: Claire J. Fox | - Democracy, in general, refers to a governmental form that allows all its citizens over the age of 18 to speak in favor of or against its decisions that are supposed to influence their lives. Ideally, it emerged from the iconic concept of Government for the people, of the people and by the people. A true democracy allows its subjects to have equal say and participation in development and proposal of passing of an act into a law. It encourages and allows free practice of self-determination i ... Tags:English Democracy, English Democratic Party
The Arab Spring By: Canadian Writer | - From where I sit it looks like the Arab spring that bloomed with so much promise for millions of people has now turned into a bleak winter. It seems that Egypts and Tunisias great revolutions have been hijacked by the military, and the people are once more under the thumb of dictators, whose only goal is to rule with an iron fist, and as for Libya, Moammar Gadhafi and his goon squad still hold power.
The Spirit Of Freedom ~ The Spirit Of Love By: Jai Krishna Ponnappan | - This is a response made to a very valid, interesting and mind opening note made by my friend Princess Erika de Krutova on facebook,
" I do not understand. America is so strong on freedoms. I have read your Constitution many times in an effort to incorporate some ideas and items into our country. How is it that freedoms can be taken away? Everyone in my country and almost all I know across Europe envy the American way of life and freedom it brings." - Princess Erika de Krutova ...

The Pro Democracy Movements In Arab Countries By: tishbite | - There has been a recent rash of pro democracy movements and demonstrations in Arab countries throughout the world. These movements can be either beneficial or detrimental to the United States based on the situations and circumstances of their origins and the way that each of the countries chose to deal with them. Some of the governments are pro west. The entire climate of US relationships with those governments may change if their leadership changes. Others are anti US. The same is true in cases ...

"genuine Democracy" - What Would Obama Do If Tahrir Square Happened On The Mall In D.c.? By: Bruno Korschek | - As most of us now know, after more than two weeks of street demonstrations in and around Tahrir Square in Cairo, Hosni Mubarak has stepped down as the leader of Egypt and that a temporary, military-based government will step and rule in until democratic elections can be arranged. We should all offer congratulations to the people of both Egypt and Tunisia who have stood up for the cause of freedom in their respective countries despite the high potential of harm to themselves and their families.

Democratization Of Social Media By: checkbuzz | - I am no longer me, I am no longer in solitude. The evolution of social media has broken down all the barriers and allowed me to become global. It presents an equal opportunity platform to broadcast and publish at will, earning audiences and prominence that directly align with the level of individual participation and investment in engagement.

Alternatives To Democratic Government By: Mike Scantlebury | - There are many alternatives to democracy, but here's a simple one. All you have to do is say what a marvellous and worthwhile thing it is, and then simply ignore it. Whether you are an elected official or a non-elected public servant, your life then gets easier: you can simply carry on and do whatever it is that takes your fancy, and you don't have to account for your actions or report back to anybody. Life is simple, rewarding - and undemocratic.
Mandate? Not This Election By: Scott F Paradis | - Any claim by a politician or party of a mandate to rule from this election is clear evidence of having missed the message. The prevailing mantra to move the electorate has become: "We are not them!" where "them" refers to the people in power. Thoughtful citizens however, realize the time for platitudes has passed. We have crossed a threshold, a tipping point that threatens the American way of life. The real message of recent elections is: "It is time for substantive change." Politicians p ...

Is Growth Sustainable? What Are The Implications For Democracy In America? By: Leslie Pratch | - As we have entered a global economy, the belief in that hard work and success are virtues as measured by socioeconomic status is certainly not unique to America. What is unique to America is the believe that growth is sustainable. That belief must be challenged. New means to generate growth must be created in order to devise the most prudent, compassionate, and enduring civil liberties, communal well being, and social goods from which all benefit.
A Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Help You Defend Against A Misdemeanor Charge By: Alfred Lancer | - A misdemeanor isn't as heavy as other crimes but you can be charged for it and this will become part of your permanent record. Fortunately, you can fight it with the help of a criminal defense lawyer.
When you are charted with a misdemeanor, you are given a citation which states the date and time that you will appear in court.
The Fault In Self-government: The Self By: Scott F Paradis | - With each succeeding poll measuring Americans' trust in institutions the elements of government sink to new lows. As we move toward the 2010 mid-term elections we are seeing a groundswell of anti-incumbent fever. Something is wrong; something is terribly wrong. But let's step back for a moment - this is a representative democracy after all. Where does the fault lie in our system of self-government?
Americans Deserve Recall Power By: Joel S. Hirschhorn | - Nothing is more powerful in a democracy than fed up citizens lawfully yanking public officials out of their jobs. Considering all the frustration and anger about government that is too big, expensive, corrupt and dysfunctional, it is wise to consider how much better American democracy would be if citizens could recall members of Congress, the President and even Supreme Court Justices. In a world moving at faster and faster speeds why wait for the usual ways to fix government, especially when n ... Tags:democracy, corruption, recall, plutocracy

Efforts At Sustainability And Social Considerations Necessary For True Sustainable Development By: Thomas | - Historically, according to Lozano (2007), efforts at sustainability have been hindered by the individualistic behaviors characteristic of homo oeconomicus. [They] are human beings that are greedy and self-interested[and] have an insatiable wish to accumulate material resources and attempt to maximize their utility while minimizing their costs (Lozano, p. 370). These behaviors have made it exceedingly difficult to strike the balance between economic, environmental, and social considerati ... Tags:discovering, growth of wealth, sustainability, democracy,
We All Should Seek To Sustain The Development Of The Nations By: Thomas | - As defined by the Brundtland Commission (Potter 2002) pg. 117, sustainable development is the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. We all should seek to sustain the development of the nations, the equity between social classes and the end of poverty. Development is thus an appropriate goal that should be created through sustainable methods, in order to bring growth and the involvement of people in th ...

Sustainability Is An Ambitious Goal For Humans By: Thomas | - Sustainability is an ambitious goal for humans. We do however have a chance to create a sustainable environment that will allow the human race to endure infinitely. To achieve this we must start with sustaining the earth.

Water, land and air, are the basic foundations of life that can also serve as representative of our resource de ... Tags:discovering, growth of wealth, sustainability, democracy,

Liberty And Learning, The Impact Of Facebook On Democracy By: Aron Ping D'souza | - The freedom of individuals to forge their own destinies, speak as they wish and move as they like is the foundation of any democratic society. In one simple but powerful word, liberty, we express the ethos which has been central to our system of government since times forgotten.

The UK has installed its own government in Turks and Ciacos and marginalized leaders and citizens of the islands. The UK took all democracy from the people, including trial by jury, judiciary, voting, the constitution; it's a one man direct rule by HE Governor Gordon Wetherell of the UK, a dictatorship.
Citizens Of Turks & Ciacos Will Take To The Streets Protesting British Rule By: Chris Burke | - Political strife due to frustration of British imposition of direct rule has caused people to take to the streets of Turks and Caicos. Yet another protest march is set for Tuesday March 16, in Grand Turk, an island in Turks and Caicos.
At issue is the UK's force in taking the local government from the people without a vote, taking the people's constitution, democracy and trials by jury.Alvin Hegner, a citizen of the islands who will be present at the march stated, "We are in the pro ...

Alternatives To Democracy By: Mike Scantlebury | - It seems ironic to many of us living in Britain that our government is going round the world telling other countries that they need to become democratic; meanwhile, back home, our democracy is going backwards. Specifically, we have lost 500 years in the last decade.
The Great Indian Political Inertia By: Anubhav Srivastava | - India is arguably one of the most vibrant democratic nations in the world. However it is also one of the few nations in the world where one usually finds a 70-year-old prime minister running the country with an 80-year-old president and cabinet colleagues of the same age. Even at that stage, we find that some of them have had no previous experience in running the government or of parliamentary procedures, their experience in party organizations notwithstanding. The same situation prevails at the ... Tags:Article Indian Political Inertia, Democracy in Indian Politi
Adam Smith: Capitalism's Founding Father By: William Welch | - Adam Smith, 18th-century philosopher and political economist, was born in Kirkcaldy, Scotland, in 1723. Best known for his classic treatise An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, he is credited with establishing the discipline of political economics. The ideas put forward in his work represented a radical departure from the then-dominant economic policy and philosophy of mercantilism, which had held sway in Europe for three centuries.
Society And Culture: The Achilles' Heel Of Capitalism By: John Meakin | - Capitalism has always been a controversial economic system: it is selfish and unfairly favors the strong, say its critics; it primarily benefits the prosperous West, invariably at the expense of poorer nations; and its huge profits go to multinational corporations, to the detriment of smaller and weaker companies.

The problem is that over a week ago Russian troops invaded The Republic of Georgia. I must say ... Tags:Russian Georgian Conflict, Russia Invades Georgia, Georgia Fights for Freedom and Democracy
Markets Work "€" Even In Downturns By: C. Read | - Utopians and fantasists usually use the turmoil of 'bourgeois' living and market upheavels to propose 'brave new world' solutions. These 'new' solutions are of course, the very old and tired ideas of conformity, equality, security and risk-less living. Even in turmoil, more dynamic and open markets are far better, than state-controlled, regulated and fettered systems. The facts, as John Adams once said, are stubborn things supporting this truism.
Iraq And Iran "€" Another Example Of Weakness Leading To More Violence By: C.

Mohammad mastered the language, the excessive nonsense of Fascist ideology by posing fascist ideals in the dress of a religion. Fascisms labels have changed Islam, Nazism, Communism, Francoism, Peronism, and assorted varieties have existed, but irregardless of the label, the intent of Fascism has always been the same the destruction of the modern world and the imposition of an elite managed utopia.

The Beautiful Crusades And The Creation Of Modern Civilisation By: C.

These episodic events ranged over a period of rougly 200 years from 1096 to 1299 A.D and they constitute the awakening of Europe from a fetal-positioned backwater to emerging colossus. These complicated, seemingly futile but ultimately transformative feats of military, religious and economic power, are of course hated today by the ignoramuses in the media a ...

Normally, outside of war, a culture or civlisation never disappears in a revolutionary flash. Like the decline of Rome, the change is slow, imperceptible, yet resolute and obvious.

Tired Of Gandhi By: C. Read | - In political theatre certain names are used to provide cachet, gravitas, or moral resolve. My favorites happen to be war mongering, pro capitalist, largely dead white European males. How banal.

Greek Antiques Democracy - Now In Bhutan, Right Beside Tibet By: Derek Dashwood | - What a day of irony on the international news from London!

And then just now to election which have today concluded in Bhutan, the mountain kingdom just over those very high hills from Tibet.

The truth is, nothing ( including our politicians, governments, religions, corporations and businesses) can survive without the constant flow of money and labor provided by the masses of people.
Therefore, the people are the real power in this world when they function as a collective group because they can control the flow of money.
Eternal Vigilance To Protect Democracy Wc 860 By: Jacob Jaffe | - Thomas Jefferson said, "Eternal vigilance is the price of democracy," but besides preserving our democracy we are also in a never-ending struggle to create and expand our rights. While our founding fathers called for freedom and democracy, our people had to struggle to enfranchise poor whites, to end slavery and to allow former slaves and women the right to vote. Liberties and entitlements that were never considered in the early days of our republic were later enshrined into our laws, including ...

Whistelblower's Freedom Of Speech Trial In Mid East 'democracy' By: eileen fleming | - Jerusalem- During this reporter's March 2006 interview with Mordechai Vanunu, he stated, "This administration tells me I am not allowed to speak to foreigners, the Media, and the world. But I do because that is how I prove my true humanity to the world. My freedom of speech trial began January 25, 2006 for speaking to the media, the same day as the Palestinian elections."
Crossing Paths With A Whistleblower By: eileen fleming | - Mordechai Vanunu grew up in an Orthodox Jewish home but abandoned the faith by his mid teens. He became interested in the existentialist writers and was an atheist for nearly two decades before he converted to Christianity. He was baptized just weeks before he was kidnapped by the Mossad, endured a closed door trial and then spent the next 18 years in jail-most of it in solitary for telling the world the truth: that Israel had gone nuclear.
Harper's Un Gibberish By: Robert Billyard | - PM Harper's first speech at the UN was not lacking in either audacity or hyperbole. He quite baldly claimed that the future of the world body depends on the success of the Afghan mission. Not only is Harper wrong he is dead-wrong.
The real crisis for the UN is whether or not it will survive the use and abuse of the USA with some semblance of integrity and credibility. Over the UN's history the US has sought to use the world body to its own ends with varying degrees of success. Whe ...

Abusive Techniques Were Authorized, Soldiers' Complaints Ignored By: Roy White | - Torture and other abuses against detainees in U.S. custody in Iraq were authorized and routine, even after the 2004 Abu Ghraib scandal, according to new accounts from soldiers in a Human Rights Watch report released today.
The new report, containing first-hand accounts by U.S. military personnel interviewed by Human Rights Watch, details detainee abuses at an off-limits facility at Baghdad airport and at other detention centers throughout Iraq.

Lennon, Vanunu And "give Me Some Truth" By: eileen fleming | - On September 6, 2006, Mordechai Vanunu, a Christian convert from Judaism, was once more inside of the Israeli Supreme Court. He returned this time, regarding an appeal against the renewing of the restrictions against him which have forbidden him to leave Israel and to speak to media or foreigners, ever since he was released from 18 years in jail on April 21, 2004.
The Suitability Of Government By: Adrian Barrett | - The State is an organized society, wielding power and exercising authority. Society, however, is more than a political entity, or a set of boundaries on a map. The basic unit of the State is the citizen. The basic unit of Society is the person. Because the person is also the citizen, Society and State overlap where social order and political fact are concerned.
The vitality of the State is not conferred by its political order, but rather flows from the social fact. This social f ... Tags:good government, democracy, democracy in america
Impressions Of Russia By: Nomad Rick | - Whenever you travel to a country, it is important to avoid the tourist traps and get to know the locals. Here are my impressions of Russia.
Created in the 12th century, Russia was originally a much smaller country. Known as Muscovy, the country was formed in the golden ring area surrounding present day Moscow. After being dominated by the Mongols for a few hundred years, the country began to slow start conquering lands and expanding.
