Greg Mankiw's Blog: Trust the Voters
Under a grown up democracy yes, majority is rule, but how about say an African country, a dictator set himself as the forever ruler. One day a great guy comes in, brave enough to challenge, and go to a poll. So this forever ruler sets controlling systems all around polling boots i.e, and bribery, interfering, duress his opponent, then he wins, is this still counted as correct?
Get rid off the dictator plot Update: And finally of course this great nice people finally pissed off “nice” is nothing to do and so stand up all together over thrown this dictator, finally become democracy. And another plot, a rascal “Scarlet Pimpernel” road him a gun flying air into the chamber shoot the dictator scumbag heart – vengeance, restored democracy and become himself the “forever ruler”
