What does Democracy mean to you?

30 April 2014

"Democracy is a system of government determined by the people, implemented for the people. Democracy means that I have the power to choose who rules over my country. Freedom, unity, equality, choice."
Erin Wright, Jeremy Phillips, Lauren Davison

Democracy is a theorised freedom. It's the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from times to time. Democracy is the new type of oppression.
Luthando Mili, Zukiswa Zono, Fern Harris.
