@TimSweeneyEpic it also only works when the electoral system allows and encourages the population to vote such that representation is found -

@TimSweeneyEpic The very concept of "the will of the people" is flawed in the extreme. See Proudhon on democracy: https://robertgraham.wordpress.com/2009/04/04/proudhon-on-representative-democracy/ …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@TimSweeneyEpic Democracy, like capitalism, is amoral. It's always the people involved in the system that give it its character. -
