P REFACE:
These are not like times most recall or remember. The electorate seems less and less knowledgeable. People do not have, or make time to be fully up on facts or wider views. It is not easy for those who try to stay informed. The evil use of technology sees to that. Mis, Dis, and outright False information is pervasive. Democracy creates Demagogues
