There is a huge movement in Hong Kong for democratic elections.
The protest for a democracy reminds me of a theory I read in my free time.
In my free time, I try to read "A Book of Politics" which I introduced in a previous post and one of the theories said "A government should have an absolute authority over a nation but has to represent all the aspects of all people in a nation".
I find this theory very interesting because I thought absolute power and representation of all citizens seemed extremely opposite (they actually are in reality), but it exists as an ideal political leadership.
Of course, it is nearly impossible to reflect everyone's opinions to form a national government; however, at least a government, especially one having absolute control over citizens, should aim to reflect what its citizens think.
