Today is International Day of Democracy!

“On this International Day of Democracy, I call on leaders to hear, respect and respond appropriately to the voices of the people, whether expressed directly or through elected representatives.”

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

This year’s theme is ’Strenghtening Voices for Democracy’. I have mentioned several times here how I am an advocate of the pursuit of making people realize how much they can actually do to form politics around themselves and this way form their own futures.

After all, this is what democracy is all about.
