Subverting the System: Reflections on the Fate of Democracies in the 21st Century -Seema Chishti |
-The Indian Express Seema Chishti is a journalist based in New Delhi, who has worked for the Indian Express and the BBC. She is the co-author of Note by Note: The India Story (1947-2017). The emergence of political leaders the world over with a contempt for the democratic systems they preside over, requires a re-examination of the ideas of democracy & representation. This is a necessary preliminary towards salvaging ‘government by discussion’. The shock verdict of the Brexit referendum in 2016 and the election of Donald Trump as US President in the same year sparked off conversations in the western world about democracies and democratic processes. The popularity of figures like Trump and British prime minister Boris Johnson, who have relied largely on direct personal appeal and have exhibited a wilful disregard for the very ‘system’ they have presided over, have rattled Western democracies. If 1989 was bookended by The End of History, with the West claiming its system was the answer to humanity’s many woes, the emergence of this idea of a single assertive leader appears to herald a new era. The phenomenon of a single leader embodying the aspirations of a country, winning elections, and displaying no desire to accommodate dissent or brook competition, is no longer only about Turkey, Russia, or India. The maverick ‘populist’ leader, displaying new campaign styles and technologies and leading with a ‘direct’ connect with the electorate, all seem to herald an insurrection against the ‘system’ of democracy.
