The Struggle Between Democracy and the Political Elite: Who Really Holds the Power?
Subscribe to our newsletter for weekly expatriate news, views & analysis.
In today’s world, the balance between democratic rights and the influence of political elites is more contested than ever.
We’re witnessing a shift where leaders, like Donald Trump, are strategically bringing in advisors—not just to disrupt the establishment in America, but to shape global policies that will impact the future of international stability.
This month, Trump’s efforts have extended beyond U.S. politics, aiming to influence global agendas for growth and peace. His strategies touch on some of the most volatile regions in the world—Syria, Jordan, Gaza, the West Bank, Israel, and Egypt.
The goal? To reshape the Middle East while reinforcing his well-known mantra of making America great again. Are these moves truly in the interest of democracy and the rights of the people, or are they another example of the political elite managing the narrative?
Over the last 20 to 30 years, we’ve seen powerful figures dictate the course of history, often making decisions that serve their own interests rather than those of the masses.
As we watch these developments unfold, we must ask ourselves: How much influence do ordinary people really have in shaping their political future? Is this disruption of the establishment a necessary step toward progress, or just a reshuffling of the same power structures?
Can global peace efforts be effective when they are driven by leaders who prioritise nationalistic agendas? The conversation around democracy, political power, and international influence is one we cannot afford to ignore.
Whether you agree or disagree with Trump’s approach, one thing is certain—these decisions will have lasting consequences for America and the world.
What’s your take? Are we seeing real change, or is this another cycle of elite-controlled politics? Comment your thoughts below!
