Catchword of the Day: Democratic deficit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Democratic deficit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 
 

A democratic deficit is considered to be occurring when ostensibly democratic organizations or institutions (particularly governments) are seen to be falling short of fulfilling the principles of the parliamentary democracy in their practices or operation where representative and linked parliamentary integrity becomes widely discussed. The phrase was coined by UK
Member of the European Parliament
Bill Newton Dunn in a pamphlet in the 1980s.
