Popular rule as a façade
http://tinyurI.com/3bomff8
The 20th Century Italian thinkers Vilfredo Pareto and Gaetano Mosca (independently) argued that democracy was illusory, and served only to mask the reality of elite rule. Indeed, they argued that elite oligarchy is the unbendable law of human nature, due largely to the apathy and division of the masses (as opposed to the drive, initiative and unity of the elites), and that democratic institutions would do no more than shift the exercise of power from oppression to manipulation.

Much as I prefer to remain politically neutral (which is why although I'm opposed to the PAP, neither do I support any of the opposition parties), I'm afraid I can't resist saying that I'm very inclined towards the following political theory/philosophy/system/school of thought:

and to be more precise:

Unfortunately, it seems to me that no other Singaporean (who's still living in Singapore) is even aware of such a thing, let alone inclined towards it... *sigh*

I wonder if any of you guys would bother to read about it! haha
