Emphasize Representing People

Politician at any level in a democracy is a representative of the opinion of people. Both political party members and elected representatives need to have systems in place to accumulate public opinion within their constituency.

Unfortunately such systems are not visible.

There is more emphasis in media as well as in party and government affairs on the leadership and authority and the role of representing people is almost forgotten.

There is a need to emphasize representing people in democratic systems.
