Every democracy has to try to realise the ideals of a democratic decision making. This
cannot be achieved once and for all. This requires a constant effort to save and
strengthen democratic forms of decision-making. What we do as citizens can make a
difference to making our country more or less democratic. This is the strength and the
weakness of democracy: the fate of the country depends not just on what the rulers
do, but mainly on what we, as citizens, do. This is what distinguished democracy from
other governments. Other forms of government like monarchy, dictatorship or one-
party rule do not require all citizens to take part in politics. In fact most non-
democratic governments would like citizens not to take part in politics. But
democracy depends on active political participation by all the citizens. That is why a
study of democracy must focus on democratic politics.
