Bringing Politics into the 21st Century
Applying Modern Business Concept "System Approach" To Politics and Government
About this book
The practice of politics and government in Canada was inherited from its previous colonial rulers in the United Kingdom, and the basic tenets have not been reviewed or modified since Canada became a country in 1867. On the other hand, business practices have continued to evolve and adapt in an ever-changing competitive environment over the years. Businesses that adapt will prosper and those that do not will cease to exist. The main purpose of politics and government in a western democracy is to serve and lead the electorate and, if possible, reflect the view of the majority while at the same time protecting the rights of the minority.Recent world events, highlighted by what is happening in the United States highlight shortcomings in existing systems; in particular, extreme political polarization. The authors, a pathologist and a lawyer, reviewed the various processes and functions of elections and government operations, applying business principles, though the lens of a "system approach" with the purpose of developing a "Democratic, Responsible and Accountable Government – DRAG".
