Summary

Anti-Election is a timely, controversial, progressive critique of the western political system. This "anti-system" book is presented in eight presentations, which are based on actual events and facts. Through the persona of Thompson, a philosopher presenting at the United Nations, the book examines: 1.the nature of elections 2.the globalization of elections 3.the effects of Liberal Democracy on humanity as a whole, 4.and offers a viable, more democratic alternative to elections. Anti-Election includes bibliographical references. Anti-Election's unrelenting inspection of Liberal Democracy exposes it as an autocratic hierarchy of (undemocratic) political power defined by the ability and means of dominant political parties and candidates and their supporters to influence and manipulate the people to vote a certain way.
