Democracy - Change

The author throws this book because it cares a lot about the Portuguese political system and “the way politics is done in Portugal. The cases of corruption, unaccountability in politics and the ease with which their authors see this situation, it appears that everything is normal and natural. I'm trying to do something for the citizenship and to give my humble contribution to thinking a little in the policy and paying you some attention.
It is necessary to reinvent democracy and the functioning of political parties. Our democracy needs to change.
The abstention is a problem of our democracy. Guilt of the parties which are not open to the society and not make the choices of their candidates that will meet the wishes of the voters.
There is no democracy without justice. It is necessary that the citizens interiorizem that justice works.
