Winners and Losers

Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the traditional concepts of democratic practice of decision-making: majority and minority. Representational democracy of modern states is characterized by the relativization of majority and minority by means of losers and winners. The author claims that in representational democracy there is no automatic correspondence between the majority and the winners, and the minority and the losers. On the contrary, the most powerful are the elitist losers’ minorities, while the function of the traditional democratic majorities has been reduced to providing legitimacy to the winners’ minorities’ rule.
