Helen KellerOur democracy is but a name. We vote? What does that mean? It means that we choose between two bodies of real, though not avowed, autocrats.

What good can votes do when ten-elevenths of the land of Great Britain belongs to 200,000 and only one-eleventh to the rest of the 40,000,000? Have your men with their millions of votes freed themselves from this injustice?
