Their ' offers ' of all-British unity, within their very undemocratic centralized organizations, only promote greater disunity.
It was not, indeed, simply a reactionary or undemocratic measure; it was, as The Times correspondent pointed out, " a measure sui generis, designed to defeat the objects of the universal suffrage movement that compelled the Coalition to take office in April 1906, and framed in accordance with Magyar needs as understood by one of the foremost Magyar noblemen."
These and the property qualifications for suffrage, which was granted to " all inhabitants of this state, of full age, who are worth fifty pounds proclamation money, clear estate in the same," &c., were soon considered undemocratic; and the democratic tendency of certain election officers may be seen from their construing the words " all inhabitants of full age " to include women, and from their permitting women to vote.
We must not demonstrate any arrogance, and we must refrain from any irrational or undemocratic behavior.
It is also an undemocratic, hierarchical institution in which immense power is concentrated into the hands of unelected commissioners.
