This principle has now come to be accepted almost all over the world. Yet there are many instances of denial of equal right to vote.
πŸ”΄ Until 2015 , in Saudi Arabia women did not have the right to vote.
πŸ”΄ Estonia has made its citizenship rules in such a way that people belonging to Russian minority find it difficult to get the right to vote.
πŸ”΄In Fiji , the electoral system is such that the vote of an indigenous Fiji has more value that of an Indian-Fijian.]]> 2021-05-15 16:08:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jyotsnachandel31/scmqwjlg41s6s1j2/wish/1527220859 Rule of law and respect for rights jyotsnachandel31 https://padlet.com/jyotsnachandel31/scmqwjlg41s6s1j2/wish/1589707650 Zimbabwe attained independence from the White minority rule in 1980. Since then the country has been ruled by ZANU-PF, the party that led the freedom struggle. Its leader, Robert Mugabe, has been ruling the country since independence. Elections have been held regularly and always won by ZANU-PF.
President Mugabe was popular but also used unfair practices in elections.]]> 2021-06-07 12:00:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jyotsnachandel31/scmqwjlg41s6s1j2/wish/1589707650 The arguments against democracy jyotsnachandel31 https://padlet.com/jyotsnachandel31/scmqwjlg41s6s1j2/wish/1589711761
(i) Leaders keep changing in a democracy. This leads to instability.

 (ii) Democracy is all about political competition and power play. There is no scope for morality.

(iii) So many people have to be consulted in a democracy that it leads to delays.

(iv) Elected leaders do not know the best interest of the people. It leads to bad decision-making.

 (v) Democracy leads to corruption because it is based on electoral competition.

(vi) Ordinary people don't know what is good for them, so they should not decide anything.]]> 2021-06-07 12:03:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jyotsnachandel31/scmqwjlg41s6s1j2/wish/1589711761 Arguments for democracy jyotsnachandel31 https://padlet.com/jyotsnachandel31/scmqwjlg41s6s1j2/wish/1589720031
