#Popular Sovereignty

Popular sovereignty is the revolutionary slogan that proudly declares power lies with the people. In practice, it summons voters at every election only to ignore them once the ballots are counted. Politicians boast they 'listen to the voice of the people', yet often refuse until their approval ratings recover. Ordinary citizens parade as sovereigns at polling stations, then entrust their opinions to the next morning's talk show. Yet as long as this peculiar ritual continues, the only unshakable truth is that everyone remains a sovereign.
