Speaking at an Africa Regional Trade and Security Workshop, Alban Bagbin explained that it is about time that Ghana adopt the &#8220;consensuational&#8221; democracy which is being practiced at Netherland and Switzerland. He described this democracy as a system of arriving at decisions through the most representative parliamentary coalition possible.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, this system will not allow any President  in the ruling party to come out and order things to be done in his or her own way.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is a serious plead that I am making. This is because it has been the concept that because a person has been elected to lead the country, that means that at all times the person can do what he wants to do&#8221;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/869eb5bdde094ae7b0d16e68479a11cc\"\/><\/p>\n<p>He added that the government must imbibe this culture of give and take which focuses on achieving a national interest and not one individual or parochial partisan interest. He said that he will never want and pray that there would be a backsliding of the systems in the country.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Parliament.of.Ghana\/videos\/687007566043437\/?app=fbl<\/p>\n<p>1:04:00-1:06:00<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: Gentle.Blogger (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
