THE PRAIRIE EDITOR: "The Health Of Democracies....."

“The health of democracies, of whatever
type or range, depends on a wretched
technical detail --- electoral procedure.
All the rest is secondary. If the regime
of the elections is successful, if it is in
accordance with reality, all goes well;
if not, though the rest progresses
beautifully, all goes wrong.”
