Abstract

The European Union and the United States suffer from democracy deficits. Modern democracy is realised in regularly elected legislative bodies that, though small enough to house in a parliamentary building, are large enough to reflect the interests of an entire people. David V Johnson writes that by ratio of representatives to population, the US and the EU have among the least democratic of the world’s representative assemblies.
