Today, with the aim of safeguarding Nigeria’s democracy, we hosted a national summit that brought together opposition political party leaders, members of civil society and other relevant stakeholders. As I said in my welcome remarks, democracy is not defined by the success of one party. It is defined by the existence of real alternatives, by the ability of citizens to choose, and by the confidence that those choices matter. So, let me once again, thank everyone who participated in our deliberations and ensured that the Ibadan Declaration 2026 was birthed. Read my welcome address here

CIA “Democracy doesn’t mean a thing” “The principle of government by the people, for the people, of the people, that is just silly” Philip Agee, CIA Agent “In the CIA, we didn't give a hoot about democracy. I mean, it was fine if a government was elected and would cooperate with us, but if it didn't, then democracy didn't mean a thing to us. And I don't think it means a thing today. The true goal of the United States government is control. And they feel that if the United States did not control the governments of Latin America, then somebody else would. And the principle of government by the people, for the people of the people, that is just. That's just silly.”

People in America need to stop calling us a Democracy, We are a Constitutional Republic It's important to know the difference⏬ Take a minute to watch this video/poat and share it with someone else today, it will open your eyes "The idea of Democracy is universal equality, the idea of a Republic is individual Liberty" "A democracy always degenerates in the dictatorship which promises government guaranteed equality and security but it delivers nothing but poverty and surf them for the people that robs and rules" "America was founded as a constitutional republic to safeguard the liberties of the people against the tyranny of democracy or of one Dictatorship" "In this century great strides have been made toward the goal of subverting our republic into a democracy. The foremost tactic of the subverters is subversion of language. By calling America a democracy until people thoughtlessly accept and use the term the totalitarians have obscured the real meaning of our principles of government"

Obama says the military and law enforcement owe their allegiance to the Constitution and the American people, not to any president or political party. He framed it as one of the core principles that holds a democracy together.

As a country that practices democracy, I believe it’s imperative we uphold the constitutional and democratic right for people to exercise their right to vote. I send this petition to the Electoral commission of Ghana.

ICYMI — Washington state Republicans are batshit crazy. They’re openly saying they don’t want to be a democracy, because it sounds too much like Democrat, the Party that they’re against. 🥴 Every time the word “democracy” is used favorably it serves to promote the principles of the Democratic Party, the principles of which we ardently oppose.”

Brexit was won by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history. Here is one of them. The "Will of the People" was used to suppress democracy after the Brexit Referendum. Lord Sumption giving the Reith Lectures addressed the Brexiters' claim that Brexit is the will of the people. He said - "This is the authentic language of totalitarianism. It is the lowest point to which a political community can sink short of actual violence." This is not about percentages. It doesn't matter what percentage voted for Brexit. It is about a referendum being used to attack the fundamental democratic right to oppose, and to promote the totalitarian division of society into the people and its enemies, the subversives and saboteurs. In the period following the referendum the so-called "Will of the People" was used to create a climate of intimidation that silenced almost all political & media opponents of Brexit. During that period Britain was not functioning as a democracy, and we are still living with its effects, pro-European politicians are still cowed by the Brexit "Will of the People". In a democracy there is government and opposition, majority and minority, competing parties and dissenting voices. There is no totalitarian unity of the "Will of the People" which makes all opponents into the enemies of the people. Where the right to oppose ends, democracy dies, and that is exactly exactly why dictators like Hitler loved referendums.

“Democracy basically means, government by the people, of the people, for the people, but the people are retarded.” We aren’t retarded, but the American taxpayer has been asleep at the wheel. Isn’t it time we control our government?

In the last press conference, it was asked what to do when the democratic structure is not working. What we are doing is making it absolutely clear to the people of India what has happened. We are informing the people that the Prime Minister and the Home Minister are not legitimately in government. Similarly, the CM of Haryana is not legitimately in government because it has been stolen. It's the same with the government of Maharashtra. India's Gen Z and the youth have the power to restore democracy with Satya and Ahimsa—by expressing their desire for a democratic India, by fighting for a democratic India and by resisting this wholesale theft and murder of the Constitution and democracy. : LoP Shri Rahul Gandhi 📍Delhi
