Even when movements have near-universal support (which is not the case with the recent political movements in the US or India), there is a fundamental tension between democracy’s procedural and participatory aspects. Apart from electoral reform, outlets for political participation and expression of public grievances must be balanced by institutions and procedures that are partly insulated from the rough-and-tumble of politics.
即使几乎所有人都支持某项运动（美国或印度近来的政治运动并非如此），民主在程序和参与层面仍然存在着根本的冲突。除选举改革外，政治参与渠道和民怨表达都必须遵守制度和程序，而相关制度应当至少可以免受政治混乱的影响。
