I fully agree with Milton here...
All our time in our domestic advocacy and political representation we
(as in our organisation and networks) spend telling the governments
(meaning those who occupy gov positions) that they cannot represent
their own interests, they have to represent people's interest. That is
what democratic government is about. Now, if I agree that government is
a stakeholder like others, then they obviously are to represent their
own interests and not of the people... This is why so much of
mutlistakeholder concepts and lingo do not suit or fit within the
democratic ideals and discourse...
