Resource summary
Democracy
Democracy - rule by the people
Representative deomcracy - when the people chose a person or party to represent their views
Direct democracy - a form of democracy in which citizens themselves assemble to debate and decide issues of public importance
Pluralism - a system of government that encourages participation and allows for free and fair competition between competing interests
In a pluralist democracy:
There will be a diverse range of competing interests
There will be numerous access points - points of leverage where pressure groups can exert influence
No single group will be able to exclude any other from political process
Some refer to the UK as having a pluralist democracy but some feel that we are still ruled by the elite
