It's interesting to realise that whilst democracy is "a form of government in which the people govern themselves or elect representatives to govern them", the implementation of this form of government is one of imposition.

This is one reason why some people don't vote. They choose not to give their authority to that which would impose upon them... .

I realise now the answer is once everybody self responsibly governs themselves, in consideration for everything and everyone else, the need for elections would be diminished.

Thanks for your responses.
