Churchill Quote

Posted by: 4bc.com.au | 1 September, 2009 - 1:53 PM
Winston Churchill.

"Government of the people by the people for the people has in many states proved a mere illusion. Democracy seems ready to yield up the tangible rights hard won in rugged centuries to party organisations, to leagues and societies or to dictatorships in various forms." Quote from a paper titled “Parliamentary Government and the Economic Problem” delivered by Winston Churchill at the Romanes Lecture in the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford, June 19, 1930" _ Winston Churchill

Blog comments Your Say

  • I believe our Constitution makes no mention of political parties, but only of representatives for the people by the people. So why do we have political parties anyway, when they only represent the party interest and not the will of the people? “When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty”
    Thomas Jefferson. We have three different governments, none of which represent the will of the people, and all of which deny us our right to political self determination under the ICCPR (1976) signed by Australia http://www2.ohchr.org/english/law/ccpr.htm Article 1 of the ICCPR states: 1. All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.

    It is high time Australia starts abiding by the legally binding treaties it has signed decades ago. And it is high time we have the right to citizen initiated referenda like 1st world countries, because without the right to political self determination and CIR, we are definitely not free citizens and not living in a progressive democracy, where human rights and the rule of law is truly respected. Eventhough government spin always talks about "our great and vibrant democracy" - the reality of course is very different!
