"Let's Vote Wisely Philippines"

Each candidate behaved well in the hope of being judged worthy of election. However, this system was disastrous when the city had become corrupt. For then it was not the most virtuous but the most powerful who stood for election, and the weak, even if virtuous, were too frightened to run for office.

"Philippines"

What is it we all seek for in an election? To answer its real purposes, you must first posses the means of knowing the fitness of your man; and then you must retain some hold upon him by personal obligation or dependence

“In a democracy, someone who fails to get elected to office can always console himself with the thought that there was something not quite fair about it.” Wars and elections are both too big and too small to matter in the long run. The daily work - that goes on, it adds up. Did you, too, O friend, suppose democracy was only for elections, for politics, and for a party name? I say democracy is only of use there that it may pass on and come to its flower and fruit in manners, in the highest forms of interaction between [people], and their beliefs -- in religion, literature, colleges and schools -- democracy in all public and private life.... We think that democracy can change a lot of things, but we're being fooled, because democracy is not the election. We've been taught that democracy is having elections. And it isn't. Elections are the most horrendous aspect of democracy. It's the most mundane, trivial, disappointing, dirty aspect. Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody.  “Voting is not a right. It is a method used to determine which politician was most able to brainwash you.”  “Election is the only course of action that  identifies liars before they are in power.”  "Elections Determine who is in power, but they  do not determine how power is used."
