国家由一个人统治则称为独裁专制，由少数人统治则称为寡头政治，那么如何才是真正的民主？Hints

The non-elected prime minister's head "governments of national unity" which pursue policies for which nobody in the electorate voted. Indeed, they are not expected to consider the interests of the public, except insofar as introducing austerity measures sufficiently swingeing to satisfy the international markets is supposed ultimately to ensure the solvency of the nation as a whole.
Are we really comfortable leaving grave political decisions to technocrats whose successes have been measured in terms of investment yields? We've been forced into the position of doing so, I suggest, by very much the circumstances that CP Snow described 50 years ago, in connection with key decisions in time of war.
In Wartime, Churchill, himself exclusively humanities-educated, took the advice of the man closest to him whose views were, as it happened, not shared by other prominent figures within the scientific community.
Today, faced with an international financial crisis, Europe's elected representatives have singled out individuals with economic expertise for a solution. In this case too, significant voices have been raised by economic experts outside government, questioning the wisdom of adopting the measures proposed.
The rule of a few wise men is oligarchy, not democracy. So democracy depends upon our being able to sustain informed debate in the fields of science and economics. Each and every one of us has to take responsibility for the decisions that shape the future of the nation as a whole.就意大利的情况而言，其整个内阁都由金融专家组成。作为一个非经选举上台的首相，他领导的国家统一政府所实行的政策没有受到选民的欢迎。的确，人们认为他们不会考虑公众的利益，除非引入财政紧缩措施来满足国际市场，(而这些措施)最终应该确保其国家整体的偿付能力。
把重大的政治决策交到那些以投资收益率作为评判标准的(技术官僚)手里，我们真的放心吗? 我认为，正如查尔斯•珀斯•斯诺(CP Snow)50年前描述的环境那样，我们这么做是被迫而为之，与战争时期的关键决策有关。
作为一个有着完完全全的人文科学教育背景的丘吉尔(Churchill)，在战争时期只听取与自己关系最好的人的意见，而不与其他著名科学家分享意见。
今天，面对国际金融危机，欧洲的代表已经挑选出有着经济学背景的专家来寻找解决问题的方法。既然如此，政府之外的经济学家们已发出巨大的声响，质疑目前在实施的措施其明智性。
少数智者的统治是寡头政治，而不是民主。民主取决于在科学和经济领域经得住有依据的辩论。我们每个人要对塑造国家未来的决策负责。
