We live in a time of large-scale democratic reckoning, coupled with crumbling trust in public institutions and their elite functionaries, highlighting the complex dynamics at play in contemporary governance.
The results of this great tallying of political desire are beyond any single person's assessment... demonstrating that multiple forces shape public policy and geopolitical shifts, rather than individual actions alone.
This is not a moment to feel much reassurance about the future of liberal democracy, as dark signs of rising right-wing authoritarianism and deep-rooted economic disparity loom across the globe.
Elections are only a necessary condition of democratic accountability... real legitimacy comes from responsible and transparent institutions capable of effective regulatory control in a rapidly changing world.
