Toch zo slecht niet, democratie



"Organize government so that long and necessary conversations between the various parties reveal the weaknesses of any grand plan, and you create a political body that proceeds less because a course of action is good than because the alternatives are worse. The politics of compromise are never grand. They are, however, durable."


Joshua Mitchell, Tocqueville in Arabia. Dilemma's in a Democratic Age, University of Chicago Press, Chicago 2013.
