Voting being simply a method of creating an appliance for the preservation of individual rights, the question is whether universality of votes conduces to creation of the best appliance for the preservation of the citizens' rights.
We have seen that it does not effectually secure this end.
Experience makes obvious that which should have been obvious without experience, that with a universal distribution of votes the larger class will inevitably profit at the expense of the smaller class.
Elections and the forming of a new government amount to nothing where life is not free.

election = democracy
This is our formula of democracy...
Election has become a nation-fiesta every 5 years.. Is this the purpose of organizing election?? Can anyone tell me??
I guess election in Malaysia is just there to shut us up. To show to the world that we have a government who practices democracy.. it is after all about how other countries see us, perceive us. It is never about the people..
