Pulse of Democracy

Kind of the same quote as in Julius Nyeyere.

the right to vote, to choose between this party or that, is by itself not true democracy. Democracy is more than a legal right that the citizen exercises on a certain day of the year when he enters a tiny polling booth to mark an anonymous X on a ballot form. It is a process of constant thought and action on the part of the citizen. It is self-educational. It calls for participation, information, the capacity to make up one's own mind.
