Quote by King Abdullah II

I think the success of democracy is not really police security it's the presence of a broad middle class. The stronger the middle class of a people is, the less you have to worry about one group coming in and exploiting the democratic process for its own ends.

Summary

This quote suggests that the key to the success of democracy lies not in the presence of police security, but rather in having a strong and prosperous middle class. A robust middle class acts as a safeguard against vested interests using the democratic system for their own benefits. When a significant portion of the population is economically stable and socially empowered, they are less susceptible to manipulation and more likely to actively participate in the democratic process, ensuring its integrity and fairness. In this perspective, a flourishing middle class serves as a vital pillar for a thriving democracy.
