although tw democracy is not yet perfect,
without its press freedom and basic human rights and freedom of
speech,
would there be people to check and question Ah Biah who is above
all?
channel 8 show asked a TW political commentator and he said tw
president is given too much power. Many top ranking officials are
assigned by him and these blokes feel that they owe their happiness
and wealth to him and thus, what do you happened?
Absolute power corrupts Absolutely , that is a well-known
phrase. but is people convinced or understand this sentence?
With freedom to question, bad people can be indicted.
Without freedom to question , you can go to the zoo and visit
your kangaroos.
Without Transparency and Democracy, one day, a scumbag may take
advantage of naive mindsets of frogs in wells.
What you guys are talking about is not new at all.
Presidential systems have been observed to fail utterly
resulting in totalitarian regimes. The President becomes an
absolute dictator.
Similarly, Blair was also criticised to have exercised too much
absolute power as Prime Minister. There is nothing new at all.
Democracy is but just something to keep the proletariat content
while people in power exercised and enjoyed its benefits.
