What do we want from our government and opposition parties?
First we need to understand what the term ‘government’ means; according to Wikipedia; “a government is "the organization, that is the governing authority of a political unit,"[1] "the ruling power in a political society,"[2] and the apparatus through which a governing body functions and exercises authority.[3] "Government, with the authority to make laws, to adjudicate disputes, and to issue administrative decisions, and with a monopoly of authorized force where it fails to persuade, is an indispensable means, proximately, to the peace of communal life."[4] "A compulsory territorial monopolist of protection and jurisdiction equipped with the power to tax without unanimous consent."[5] Statist theorists maintain that the necessity of government derives from the fact that the people need to live in communities, yet personal autonomy must be constrained in these communities”.
As we all know our government is democratic government but do we understand the definition of democracy. According to Wikipedia; “a Democracy is a form of government in which the supreme power is held completely by the people under a free electoral system”.
We expect our government to provide the following roles for us:
1. Military defense
2. Security (internal) to provide security and to enforce law
3. Economic security
4. Social security
5. Healthcare
6. Environmental security
7. Education
One of the primary problems of our government as well as oppositions parties is lack of policy, transparencies, and accountability. There is lack of vision within our government as well as opposition parties. Our national parties must demonstrates their policies and define them? For example what is the current Education policy of our parties? If they have such policy; where will they get the funds to implement the policy? And how much it cost us?
We want a government that will be a father to every orphanage child in our country; we want a government that will be a son to every elderly women or men who lost their sons or daughters to the war; we want a government that will provide standard education to our children’s, we want a government that will create employment opportunities in part of our country, we want a government that will provide standard health system
