western politics


3. Look at this political cartoon (http://i.imgur.com/vcBZ8.jpg).  How do Western politics reflect the message portrayed in this cartoon?  

Instead of answering this question, I would like to instead point out the error in the cartoon.  Every western leader goes through a rigorous election process in which hundreds of millions of people chose the person who will make choices for them in order to be elected again.  People have all the power over leaders in western politics, that's why we are considered uncorrupted.  I also feel as though majorities have been trying to abuse their power with the whole 99% movement in which leaders are pressured between votes and money... people clearly do know their power and are doing a very good job of abusing it while showing the rest of the world their ignorance in topics they know so little about.
