Lee Kuan Yew in 2001 on the conditions that are required before democracy can work.
He believed that democracy is not a universal system that can easily fit anywhere and it needed specific social and economic conditions to function and thrive.
He stated that a society must have high literacy, strong and neutral civil institutions, social cohesion and an educated stable middle class largely for democracy to promote progress instead of causing stagnation and chaos.
This view sharply contrasts with the Western belief that electoral democracy is a universal good that can be instantly implemented anywhere. He criticized this idea as naive and disconnected from history.
He argued that a functioning democracy requires a strong foundational consensus.
A society must agree on a shared identity, core values, and a common vision for the future for a democracy to function. He cautioned that if a nation cannot settle on these fundamental points, democracy turns into a competition for resources among tribes.
Today, his skepticism seems strikingly accurate as the West faces severe political divides, institutional standstills, and a significant struggle to agree on basic realities.
Do you think that specific conditions need to be present before a democracy can function?
“We call them political appointees. There is a word ‘political’ there. They are not just technocrats. They are political appointees. You can’t be holding a political position and then say you are not a politician. I have been hearing some people saying that, ‘I am not a politician,’ but they are holding political appointments. It is like somebody who has Yoruba or Kanuri tribal marks telling you that he is not a Yoruba or Kanuri man. It cannot happen...."- APC national chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda
ME: We have so many of them in government holding strategic political positions, on ground, online, nothing identifies them with APC or the President, too bad.
