Praise for this book

"Valuable as a primer in liberal democracy, and helpful in initial discussions of democracy." Global Times

"This book is written by two of the best interpreters of democracy and human rights in this country. It is so well written (and illustrated, with cartoons) that I believe it to be understandable to anyone aged 11 or more and is interesting and relevant enough to be recommended to everyone, especially voters."
