In the essay linked above, Stephen P. Turner highlights the problem of ideological claims in so-called full democracies (what David Beetham called "democratic governments" as opposed to "democracies" or what some scholars term "[always limited/restrictive] electoral democracies").
The problem is that whilst private citizens and residents in these stipulated democracies are told they have certain political/social/cultural/economic rights most of these people cannot actually use some number of these rights. This point is, on average, truer for marginalized peoples.
The right that Turner takes issue with in his essay is over the effectiveness of elections as a means for peoples to state their preferences (their ask upon the [local/regional/federal or national/supranational] state that they compose/are members of) and the translation of those preferences into laws, regulations, and services rendered back to these very same peoples or to others in the case of requests for 'foreign intervention'.
When put to scrutiny, most people in most full democracies do not get what they want through this translational device of elections. And many peoples, arguably anyone reading this post of mine, is already familiar with some of the reasons for why this is the case. It is the usual litany of problems: the influence over political parties by the wealthy, outdated electoral systems (many countries are still using medieval techniques to elect representatives), foundational sexism, racism and ageisms which exclude many important voices from giving their input, etc.
Turner's solution is a call to be creative. As he writes: "We require an alternative, de-ideologised or deflationary account of both democracy and the rule of law."
If you were asked to envision this alternative account of democracy, what would it look like? How would it work? And why do you think it would be better than the status quo in your context?
