| Résumé Court : | Un article académique (UCD School of Philosophy) qui argumente que la représentation politique n'est pas défendable, et donc que la démocratie représentative n'est pas une démocratie.
"If it is to be tenable, representative or indirect democracy requires a clear, robust, and defensible conception of representation. No such conception has been forthcoming, and it is doubtful if any ever will be forthcoming. It used to be said that only three things were definitely true of the Holy Roman Empire: it wasn't holy, it wasn't Roman, and it wasn't an empire. Similarly, two things are definitely true of representative democracy: it isn't democracy and it isn't representative." |
