Politics

Liberalism must be circumscribed within the framework of written constitution. UK is an exceptional country where they run their democracy with unlimited liberalism which will in other countries provide the opportunity seekers to use them in self interest and destroy the country in the long run. Universal suffrage and equal rights to all citizens are obviously the pillars of democracy but here the money, muscle power, organised parties may come to vicious roles to destroy the fabric of democracy and these are the port holes through which different scam and dishonest practices come and kill the fruits of democracy. I personally think that not only good education but also backed up by moral control from the childhood are the two basic ingredients to form effective democracy in the long run. If you look at the history of some countries throughout the world you will find the veracity of my humble thinking.

@gobordhon I am interested in your argument, Bhabani. What is it about the UK, do you think, that means that our democracy is not, apparently, being destroyed by self-interest as you suggest that it might be in other countries if a similar level of 'liberalism' were allowed? I do not agree, by the way, that British liberalism is 'unlimited' though it may certainly be greater than that of countries such as yours.

Dear Sir, it was a very kind and thoughtful response from you. I'd be delighted to expand further into this. I do believe that equal rights of all citizens and individual freedom can be better realized in democracy. But what I feel is that the nature of central authority is vague in democracy. Many a time decision is not reached or is delayed because of lack of unanimous agreement. Besides that, in the name of freedom immorality is practiced and promoted openly not only in the media but even in the government. Recently homosexuality was legalized in France. The people did protest but it didn't make much difference. Can we say that true freedom and equal rights of all citizens are maintained here. Think about the terrible effect on the minds of the children who will be adopted by gay couples. It will create a distorted and confused sense of reality. It will be against their rights and freedom. In order to solve such issues we need an authority that is absolute not only politically but also morally. I believe no human authority is or ever can be absolute. Only God can be the absolute sovereign authority. Under His authority has been given the gift of freewill to all humans. But this gift of freedom is abused. I believe God is not silent or delaying but He is being patient in not executing His final and absolute judgement because He wants none to perish. It is only when He executes His final judgement, the perfection of humanity will be realized. The imperfection of all human authority point toward His final authority. But it is up to us whether to accept it or not.

you truely cannot have both at the same time however we have made our modifications of it.
