(Macpherson, 1999: 6;34). Throughout this essay, it will criticise the central issue of stop and search,...

It is not the concept of a pure democracy where the majority gets what they want and the minority remains at a disadvantage (Dryzek & Dunleavy, 2009). This is exactly what happened during the mid-term elections. The important factor that stood out in this mid-term election is the culture wars. The mid-term elections are divided...
