Charles Rangel Congressman Opens NY 13th Congressional District For Others
Democracy as a process of governance has been coronated with the best of socio economic development and therefore has found appeal in the modern world. Some of the oldest democracies like US, UK and India have shown to the rest of the world that brilliant progress could be ensured in a resonant manner so that the democratic society feels satisfied. Democracy has itself ensured the passages for representational politics so that the demands of the common men are heard at the upper level where the national policies are made.
The policy makers also look out for the correct leads that could be brewing in the socio economic domains and ensure that their plans are in line with the emergent demands. As the time moves on, the demands dynamics also change and democratic processes continue to serve as the vibrant passages. This year in November, US would be going for the general popular vote for the Congress. 13th NY Congressional district is set to have hot contest as incumbent Charles Rangel Congressman is retiring and not seeking the second term. While Bill Perkins New York withdrew, we have Espaillat for Congress as also Adam Clayton Powell and others.
Breeding the leaders -
Democratic processes have been successful in ushering the socio economic changes in a swift manner because the leaders are bred from the social domains itself. This is a remarkable attribute of democratic regimes. Unlike the authoritarian regimes the rulers in a democracy are determined by the popular processes that are very sensitive to the aspirations of the people. People are free to choose their leaders and whenever they find that a person is able to forward their demands and make it heard at the appropriate level, a leader is born; of course the leadership traits of the individual are also a determinant. This makes the democracy come alive and respond as per the likes and requirements in the society and economy.
Democracies are therefore free pools and leaders are only those who can resonate with the society; when this resonance fails, the leader is replaced! US will be witnessing another Congressional vote in November 2016 and some constituencies like NY 13th Congressional district will be witnessing good competitions as the heavyweight and long time incumbent Charles Rangel Congressman is not contesting this time. Bill Perkins New York has also withdrawn and some leading contenders in the field are Adam Powell, Keith Wright, Susan Cook and Espaillat for Congress.
Democratic maturities
In US, the issues have got much refined because the democratic societies have come a long way while asserting their rights throughout. The people are educated and have developed concern for the issues that really confront them as irritants. They also bring up the causes of potential goodness and seek fructifications of the same. This is different from many other democratic cultures including India where people are carried by the cosmetic issues of poor relevance to goodness and welfare. This marks the level of maturity of the democratic society and the good fact is that every democracy is destined to move forward and it never backlashes.
NY 13th Congressional district has a high proportion of educated people and here the issues include both local as also of national importance. Charles Rangel Congressman enjoyed popular confidence for long and now we have Espaillat for Congress along with other politicians of fame; Bill Perkins New York has backed out!
