Paul,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>the last sentence in your email is hardly controvertible as theory, again. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think that "<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; ">many who are uncomfortable with democratization nevertheless claim its mantle" is an interesting statement. If you mean anyone in particular it may be better to know. As you
know, often in debates about democracy, such a statement is cast and each side may claim it applies to the other one.</span></div>

3. The opposition you find for CIRP is NOT against democratizing anything. It is against the proposal from people who think it does the opposite.<br>
</blockquote>
<div><br>
Virtually nobody is expressly against democratization because it is political suicide, and many who are uncomfortable with democratization nevertheless claim its mantle, in addition to those truly for democratization.
<br>
<br>
As a consequence, one always has to think for themselves and not rely on labels and conclusory statements about whether a proposal furthers the cause of democracy or not.
<br>
<br>
In the process of "thinking for one's self" it doesn't mean that everybody's opinion is necessarily equally valid because there are definitions, tests and standards that can be applied, like asking whether or not the proposal allows those who would be governed
to vote on who their governors will be, or not. There are others.<br>
