Dear Government Leaders,
I'm writing this letter to remind you of the benefits of democracy and what good democracy can do for it's people. In the words of Abraham Lincoln "a government for the people, of the people and by the people"
In democracy all citizens are equal before the law. All citizens have equal right to power and democracy is freedom. People can vote for a person from their community who therefore knows about the problems of the area and can solve the problems.
Our own country Ireland is an honest democratic country. Infact, it had an election this Friday because the old government left us bankrupt.
If a country isn't a democratic country then the dictator may or may not have understood the problems. This has happened in a few countries across the globe. Most recent is the Libyan's affair. The dictator Gadafi has been in power for 42 years. When an election takes place he threatens the people to vote for him or otherwisr they'll die. So,that's why people couldn't vote against him even though they wanted to, as they were suffering under his rule. Egypt's dictator Mubarak has been in control for over 30 years and has ruled the country badly. A revolution took place to throw out the present government there.
I therefore, humbly request that you continue to do the best to maintain an honest democracy in your countries. This is only possible if you work towards better awareness amongst the citizens so that they can make the right choices when electing their representatives.
Yours Sincerely,
Natasha Singhal
