WHAT VOTERS WANT
"John Bright in a certain difficult situation said he put his trust in 'Justice,, the worker of miracles.' Democracy is based on a general expectation that the average citizen, when not exasperated by a sense of injustice, will vote with a fair amount of conscientiousness and common sense; it is when he thinks he is being cheated that he turns nasty," writes Professor Gilbert Murray, in the Contemporary Review. "It seems to me pretty clear that, though of course various economic, ethical and psychological considerations are far more important factors in a nation's political success than the details of the voting system, we musti if Parliamentary Government is to continue, do our best to satisfy the voter's sense of fair play."
