Power of the people...

As far I can see, many politicians still don't understand they are facing a more active and educated society. They still want to manage thing the way they did in the past, yet it's not possible to do so.

People have become more aware of their power they have on the government. And more importantly, people has become to see that the power of the government comes from the people. At the end, the government is there to serve us, not the other way around.

There is more of an understanding that the government has to surrender to the will of the people, since the government is just an expression of such will. The people who decide to work at the government need to realize that they just serve to make sure that the will of people comes to be realized.

At the end, the government that doesn't come to terms to this fact is not going to last for long.

We need to keep the government on check. People needs to realize that there is the constant need to keep tabs on government. Casting a vote of punishment at the end of each term is not enough to prevent, or control, what the government does. Or how it works.

It's up to the people, not to the government itself, to make sure it works as it should. As the saying goes, each society has the government it deserves.
