The Importance of Democracy

Dear Government Leader,
I would like to raise the issue of democracy in Ireland and around the world. As you know, there wass an election in Ireland and there are protests in Egypt and Libya as they are trying to over throw their government. The president of Egypt was supposed to be part of a democratic party but he has turned into a dictator. He has been president for over 30 years and the people of Egypt want him out. This is a prime example of why democracy should be in every country around the world. I hope when you read this you will acknowledge that dictatorship leads to fear and worry in the country and democracy leads to what the people want,what the people need and what the people hope for. I encourage you to spread this idea to all the people of your country.
Yours Sincerly,
Conor McCarthy.

Dear Mr. Gaddafi,
I'm writing to you because of what is happening in your country at the moment.
I had never heard of you until 1 or 2 weeks ago when all the trouble started in your country. I'm only 12 years old and i thought every country was like Ireland. We elect our own government and it works really well. But when i heard whats going on in your own country I was shocked! You've been incharge for over 40 years and from what I hear on the news you dont treat your own people very well. I heard a woman on the radio saying that your citizens have to queue for food and they only get a small amount of food after all the queuing. Here in ireland we walk into the shop, find what we need and pay. Its time for you to resign Mr Gaddafi, let the people decide on who will lead their next government.
Yours Sincerly,
Robert Froggatt

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
