I thought the summary of the democracy modles was really interesting especailly with elections going on. In the compettive typle model officials are elected to represent vosters interest. The primary feature of this model is candiates compete for for various governing positions. The strengths of this model are conflicting views are articulated in election and we are able to vote out politicans. However the weakness of this model is majority rule may overlook minority interest.

With the upcoming elections I think it interesting to look at the strenghts and weakness of the competitive democracy model.
