Giorgos pkls (talk) 17:41, 2 October 2013 (UTC) Hi Lustywench.
The reason for the revision I added (20:06, 1 October 2013) is that a portion of political scientists consider current representative democracy as a variation of oligarchy. Some additional references on this:
1. "Representative Democracy: Principles and Genealogy" By Nadia Urbinati
2. "The Crisis of Representative Democracy" Köchler, Hans (ed.) Frankfurt/M., Bern, New York, 1987. 306 pp.Print: ISBN 978-3-8204-8843-2
3. "Representation and Democracy: Uneasy Alliance" Hanna Fenichel Pitkin, Volume 27, Issue 3, pages 335–342, September 2004, Scandinavian Political Studies
I think this information is worth mentioning in the "Democracy" clause of wikipedia.
Did you revert it due to lack of references? If this is the case I propose I enter some additional references and revert back.

- I reverted on the basis that your edits appeared to be original research. It's entirely possible I was wrong. If you wish to re-add your edits, I have no objection. Apologies for the late reply. Lw (talk) 01:52, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
