What is Democracy?
- Democracy comes from the Greek word 'demokratia' - a union of demos (people) and kratos (power)
- Some argue that the word 'demos' actually means 'the mob'
and would translate democracy as 'mob rule' or 'mobocracy'
- John Kingdom sees natural progression from the pure
form of democracy to the corrupt form of mob-rule
- It literally means 'rule by the people' or 'people power'
