“The question of democratic legitimacy is a tricky one. How democratic is a Parliament composed of people who were selected by a politburo in a political party and then, vote in by the electorate? Power is in selecting, not in electing. Therefore the so-called “democracy” is in fact a “partitocracy”.”
This comes from a comment exchange I am having on Jon Worth’s blog about the democratic legitimacy of the nomination of the President of the European Council.
