Summary/Abstract: The current work is dedicated to the topic: „(i)legitimacy of representative democracy – the dissatisfied majorities“. It aims to discover that the representation (the political power) is not representative enough, but reasoning efficiency, it minimizes the value system of the society to acceptable symbol models. This process, connected to requirement for loyalty from the society, is facilitated by generalization of values and control system’s enforcement. Last two lead to social tensions. The theoretical frame encompasses the general systems and political risk theories. Based on that, conclusions are presented in two ways: comparative table „values – symbols“ and formula of social tensions, used further as an evidence for the above hypothesis. Milestone of the writing is the statement that the political risk, produced by political decisions, affects not only the business and its investments and projects, but also and mainly the social tensions.
