Recipe for successful democracy

Democracy is a system of government "of the people, by the people, for the people".  This democracy stands upon four pillars:

• Legislature
• Executive
• Judiciary
• Press

A key ingredient to successful democracy is fair, equal representation for all its people in all four pillars of democratic government.

There is no perfect democracy.  Some democracies work well while others are struggling.  Take Afghanistan and Pakistan for example.  The key to their success lies in giving their Taliban population a fair, equitable representation in democracy.  This might mean changing the political landscape to:

• Allow the Taliban their own province where their legislature enacts laws applicable within the province but do not conflict or contradict the laws of the nation.  These laws would be applied by their executive branch and any disputes decided upon by their judiciary.
• Allow the Taliban fair, equitable representation in the national government.  At the national level each citizen should have the right to move in or out of any province.

With the above political structure in place anyone who subscribes to the Taliban laws can move into that province and anyone who does not subscribe to their laws are free to move out. This will guarantee every Afghan and Pakistani their right to practice what they believe in without transgressing on the rights of other citizens.

While this same solution may apply to other nations it is not a silver bullet.  The principle of fair and equitable representation for all citizens in all four pillars of government is fundamental to all democracies though the methods of achieving that may differ.  For example the solution for Afghanistan and Pakistan will differ from the solution for Zimbabwe.
