Theos-Talk Archives (July 2008 Message tt00113)

I am not saying who is or is not fit for the post of the President of
TS. But I think in true functioning democracy no one candidate gets
elected continuously for 26 years. In India governments change every
three four years irrespective of their performance. Similarly in
America ruling party changes, irrespective of the quality of
government. Theosophical Society does not have true democracy. 
Also elections without electioneering seems to be wrong expectations.
No true democratic country conducts elections without electioneering
and campaigning. So in TS idea of suppressing campaign came up because
of lack of understanding of democracy.
