Democracy and elections - the parts of our society that provide us with equality, political rights, and the ability for us to speak to you right now as free and equal citizens in a world that values open discussion between its citizens as a way of best discerning the right way to live.

The defining feature of modern democracy I would argue, is that the state has changed so much since the ancient forms of democracy.

Democracy is increasingly about choosing the leaders who will manage the administration of the state, rather than voting on individual policies. So now we have this idea that democracy is not just about rights and protecting interests, but is about ensuring good governance.

She ordered a big seafood pasta.

When it came out the guy told her that he had a seafood allergy and he wasn’t really hungry so she had to eat most of it by herself…
