.. thE rule of thE peOplE..

The definition of democracy is simple, the rule of the people, a simple definition of what democracy is from the wikipedia.org. democracy is the current government sysytem of te Philippine archipelago, a system where every individual is a part of it. Consider yourself in a life where our government system would be change? Consider yourself putting the hopes of your fellow coutrymen to the hands of your leaders.

A certain proposal was made by some of the congreess to change our government sysytem, to change into a parliamentary system of ruling. I was part of the debating team assigned to tackle on the issues of changing our government into a parliament, a parliament where the prime minister would be the head of te government into of a president. In a parliament ruling, the prime minster would be connectd with the legislative body of the government, the body that enacts laws to its country. The prime minister’s connection with the legislative body could be a threat to us where the prime minister could ifluence the heads of the legislature to implement laws for te betterment of themselves. An abuse of such power would not be far from this situation. The prime minister’s power could bring down every opposition against him with just one simple word.

In a parliament system of government, not every individual is given a chance to choose whom he or she wants to become the next prime minister. Only a leser percentage of the country’s population would be conidered voters. It could mean a greater possibility of manipulation of vote cards, vote cards that could either bring good or harm to the entire nation. A nation’s success or downfall would be now in the hands of few voters.

A view of martial law would be somehow visible during a parliamentary rule. The prme minister could manipulate every person’s life. He could bring them to luxury or jeopardy. Lesser oppostions would be present in the country. Hopes of those oppositions under a parliament would be lesser than the hopes of the oppositions under a democratic government.

Life is game, you must know how to handle things and how to live by it. Try to imagine yoursel in worst case scenarios. These act could indeed prepare yourself from every obstacle that your nation would try to cross.
