A political regime is essentially determined by its sovereignty domain:
-Dictatorship implies the concentration of power in hands of an individual.
-Oligarchy reserves it for a restricted elite.
-Democracy is based in sovereignty of people.

`Democracy`, as defined above is usually designated with `Direct Democracy` as opposed to
`Representative Democracy`, etc. However, we find it a pleonasm: Democracy is either direct
or no democracy at all. As we shall see below, `Representative Democracy` is not democracy,
but an Oligarchy of professional politicians organised in Parties, or, as we propose to call 
it, a `Particracy`. Consequently, we shall skip the tautologic qualifier `direct`.

While Democracy has obvious moral and social advantages, we consider it as the best regime
for pragmatic reasons of efficiency: we postulate that, while other systems may efficiently
manage prosperity, only Democracy can manage crises. Indeed, crisis solutions involve usually
painful sacrifices which, when imposed, people would resist. A party trying to impose too
drastic measures would commit political suicide. People may accept sacrifices only when decided
by themselves as masters of their own destiny.

As the Mankind is currently facing crises calling into question its very survival, Democracy
seems to be an obvious necessity. Obvious, perhaps, but, as we shall see below, extremely 
difficult to concretise and to implement.
