A student made the following study notes regarding parliamentary democracy in Canada: . Fiscal, budget and legislative policy is primarily created and guided through Parliament by the Cabinet. MPs are expected to be members of a team that presents a united approach to support government proposals . Party whips are used to enforce discipline on MPs. . Individual MPs do not have much power to bring about political change Together, these notes point to a concern that Select one: O a. competent MP's are not used effectively in the cabinet O b. democracy has become inefficient and unwieldy O c. the Canadian political system has become dominated by the executive branch O d. political parties have embraced ideology at the expense of the desires of constituents\fUse the sources that follow to answer the next two questions. Source One The role of govemment must be to lead, and provide direction for a country. This means that govemments will invariably make decisions that will be unpopular, but nevertheless must be made When political leaders are continually held accountable to the masses they will do what appeases the masses, not necessarily what is right Opinion poll results become more importantthan informed thought The counsel of well-educated persons regarding an issue may be sought, but not heeded iftheir answers contradict what the masses desire. The ideas of those whose only interest is in doing what is necessary are less valued than are the ideas of those whose rst concem is self interest. The consequences for countries guided by such a political system can be catastrophic. Here is a question for supporters of such systems: would you send your country's almy into the eld of bate and allow strategic and tactical decisions to be made collectively? If you answer 'no" to this question, then why would you allowthe goveming of your country to be a collective process? Source Two Agovemment can only have legitimacy it it governs with the consent of the citizens. Autocratic and oiigarchic political systems are based on anogance. An individual in the rst system' and an elite in the second, hold the belief that one has a monopoly on wisdom and true knowledge, Whatever scant element oftmth there may have been to this assumption in the distant past, times have changed In a modern age ofuniversal public education' a free and diverse mass media, instantaneous global communication and the liberty to speak and debate without fear of reprisal, there is a collective wisdom that exists and must be heeded Supporters of elitist regimes believe that the vast majonty of people are shortesighted and sel'fsenring and therefore ill suited to inuence decisions that have tarereaching consequences. Even ifthis belief could be proven true would notthose same human traits exist in authoritarian leaders? Was Stalin's decision to eliminate many of his best generals, whom he perceived as a threat to his power, short-sighted?l Is Robert Mugabe's rst concern the good of Zimbabwe or the good of Robert Mugabe? Just as accountability to consumers is what ensures that businesses remain innovative, eicient, and responsible, public accountability will ensure that. political leaders demonstrate similar trails. Taken together, sources one and two indicate diiterent perspectives about Seled one 0 a. the extent to which liberalism should be promoted in society O b, the viability of liberalism O c. the way in which the will of the people should be reected in political decision-making Q d. the degree to which economic equality should be promoted in a liberal democracy \f
