I like the part where he calls the U.S. a “nominal democracy” – http://t.co/44tjA4z #cdnpoli #uspoli @GeorgeMonbiot
“Too much” democracy has often been the enemy of capital. This is true at state level, as well as the shop floor. @WEChristian @pmlagasse
The somewhat forgotten purpose of unions is workplace democracy. Democracy is hard work; progressive. @WEChristian @pmlagasse
@pmlagasse I did notice that the index contends that regulation of capital is negatively correlated to democracy.
@pmlagasse I would be stoked if there was more public discourse about degrees and dimensions of democracy.
@pmlagasse where did this fun fact come from? And what is criteria for comparing democracies?
Countries are more democratic when they employ proportional representation.
@democracy101ca Yeah you bet. Looking forward to seeing what you folks churn out.
@democracy101ca Do over. Here’s my take on David Akin’s post on DePape action: http://goo.gl/QWXTp
@pqpolitics @MyPetGloat her call for “Canadian version of Arab spring” is a call for democratic renewal.
@MikePMoffatt That was my second point. The first is that Akin abuses the notion of democracy as well as DePape’s comments re: Arab Spring.
.@MikePMoffatt @davidakin Akin’s article reveals his lack of analysis of privilege, business and democracy.
Good is the enemy of great. Expect more from our democracy. Harper and @robsilver want less from it.
.@a_picazo @charris0n @RobSilver you seem to have deliberately misunderstood a call for democratic renewal
Anyone that claims Canada doesn’t need democratic renewal needs to check their privilege. #cdnpoli

@BennyBerman Agreed. Harper killing per-vote taxpayer subsidy won’t kill #lpc Just democracy.
@LALegault Why do you think strategic voting is contrary to democratic principles?
