Libertocracy

ABOUT THE BOOK Ordinarily, defining “democracy as the government of the people, by the people and for the people” looks harmless, inspiring and promising. In practice however, democracy has not been the government of the people and by the people. Involvement of political party system in constituting government disallows people from owning it. It is the government of the ruling political party (or parties) and not the people. Party system is a political veil, an ideological insulator separating the people from a government that ought to be theirs. Whether it is called Labour Party, Conservative, Social Democratic, Republican (or Grand Old Party), Peoples Democratic Party or All Progressive Congress, it does not represent any area of need of the society and so it is irrelevant in any nation. Political parties are leeches on the spirit of democracy. They hijack the institution of government and usurp the position of the people.
