In a democratic system, in the ultimate analysis, the voter is always right.

This was proven in the 2008 election of the International President.
Unsubstantiated allegations of ill health of the International President was
put forward by some of the well known theosophists as a reason why she
should not be re-elected. But the voters did not buy this argument since no
one could substantiate the allegation with indisputable independent facts
and the President was reelected for another term with resounding majority of
votes.

Reviewing the situation today after three years is interesting. The
President is healthy, traveling and lecturing and carrying on the duties
successfully. Those who tried to defeat her have disappeared from the scene
and one wonders how healthy they are today.

The moral of the story is simple. There is always the hidden hand in action
in the destiny of democratic organizations which guides them to their
welfare.  Once more this has been proven to be true.
