Klaus Hofmann on democracy:

"The sovereign are the people. In most democracies we delegated our power to representatives. In general this system often works fine. But still we need to control those who decide for us. And: if we see a need we must have the possibility to take the decision back into our hands."

"Rule of law (Human rights and rights of minorities), representative and direct democracy procedures are the keystones of modern democracies."
