Main Points!!Main Points!!
multiple models of democracy– completely normative
there is no “right” model -- there is no “true” democracy
democratic model generally accepted in Canada appears to be shifting
has shifted towards a greater emphasis on individual rights (less emphasis on general welfare)
– the distance of this shift is a matter of interpretation may be shifting towards higher levels of mass participation –
but this hasn’t happened yet
