Perhaps the army of excited commentators following the election campaign, transmitting, discussing, speculating, busy with the myopic sifting of Lilliputian disputes, unravelling pre-ravelled spin, might, if they have any spare time, try their hand at a little topographical exercise. Simply, they have to map two variables. On the one hand, they map those areas where there is democratic accountability and participation; then, they chart exactly where significant political and economic power is concentrated; the regions of non-coincidence between these two are then coloured in red and made available to the people.
