Democracy - Democracy A democracy is a form of government in which the people, either directly or indirectly, take part in governing. However, the term is also sometimes used as a measurement of how much influence a people has over their government, as in how much democracy exists. The word democracy originates from the Greek "demos" meaning "the people" and "kratein" meaning "to rule" or "the people to rule" which meant literally: "Rule by the People."

Mary Robinson - 'Robinson' in the title were owned by her family, her promotion of contraception being an attempt to increase profits. (Her family had no such association with that pharmacy, which has since been renamed, having been taken over by the British pharmacy chain, Boots.) When she introduced the first Bill proposing to liberalise the law on contraception, nobody in the Seanad would even 'second' the Bill. (Every Bill needs a proposer and a seconder for it to be discussed.) She also worked as legal advisor for the Campaign for Homosexual Law Reform with future Trinity College Senator and possible future Irish presidential candidate David Norris.1 Ironically, just as Mary McAleese replaced Mary Robinson as Reid Professor of Law, and would replace her in the presidency of Ireland, so Robinson replaced McAleese in.

Central government leaders must increasingly build consensus for new policies among party members, local and regional leaders, influential non-party members, and the population at large..
