The so called democracy and freedom.

Democracy: the great system of governing which is derived from the people by the people for the people or is it?

This popular system which is sold to communities in the name of giving back them their power and authority is clearly a misrepresentation of this flawed product.

Parliament

How can anyone claim that the power is owned by the people and decisions are made by the people when the legislative power is vested on the parliament? The parliament is formed to represent the people and to let their voices be heard. But this is in confliction with the idea of democracy if we say democracy is the authority of the people themselves and no representative working on their behalf. The very existence of the parliament means the absence of the people because the people have no direct participation in this and the masses are represented by a single representative who is to represent more than a thousand citizens, which is obviously impossible. And in most cases the representative is appointed by a party or a coalition of parties limiting the choice for the masses.

Right after the election the representatives take over the sovereignty of the people and act on their behalf even though the fraction of people he/she represent strongly disagree with his/her decisions. Yet it is still called the system of the people and their voices are heard. And it is more horrible when a party wins the majority of the parliament. Even if the result is 52/48 the majority in the parliament would rule over the masses and pass bills upon their ideology thus imposing rules and legislations over the other 48% by force. For the minority 48% this would be a dictatorship. The reason for this is, in this system support of a majority legitimizes anything. This is total madness in the mane of freedom.

The same is on electing a leader the majority will impose a ruler which will be rejected by the minority even though the difference is very little or barely notable. This is the exact situation we have in Maldives. While the so called leader of the people struggles with the so called representatives elected from the people by the people for the people, the masses plunge into some sort of a civil war. If the people elected the leader with their full support and if the people elected the representatives at the parliament with their support how is it possible to have a conflict within these two bodies of governance.

Even If the ruling party or coalition of parties have the majority in the parliament it would still be imposing legislations over that minority by force and that minority would be struggling to break free or to come to power, the result would be an arms struggle or some other mean of power struggle.

How can a rule which its legislative powers are vested on a handful of representatives for the masses be called a system of the people.

Parties

In this system of democracy Parties are a modern tool of promoting dictatorship, a party not being an individual is hardly thought to be dictatorial. But the very idea of a party is a group of people sharing the same interests and common perceptions, and their main goal would be to rule over the people as a whole. That means to dictate over the masses. So the very existence of parties in a so called democracy is a sign of a power struggle which will not let another rule peacefully.

If the parties can justify the ideology of a group of people sharing the same idea and goal can and should rule over the masses if they somehow got the opportunity. I believe they have also agreed what Hitler did was legal and by all means justified.

Whatever this is called it’s a cruel system which will keep the poor citizens in frenzy, confusion and provoke them to murder each other while the so called elected leaders and representatives enjoy the show and the wealth of the people.

Solution

If I were to give out a solution, I would be on the same line as the dictators, to think that my own idea and philosophy would be good enough to be imposed on the people as a whole and that it should be the governing law.
