I address four major objections that have been advanced against the system of multiparty majority democracy that I proposed as an alternative to Wiredu’s non-party consensual democracy. First, that the system is not durable since it is structured around ill-defined ethnic groups; second, that since it envisions each ethnic group as a semi-autonomous entity, the system undermines the integrative process of nation-building; third, that, as a type of federalism, the system has no precedents on African soil, and consequently, that it is likely to face the problem of imperfect fit; and fourth, that some African ethnic groups are too small to stand as semi-autonomous entities. I then underscore four advantages of my system over Wiredu’s: It honours the right of freedom of association; addresses the problem of the marginalisation of minority ethnic groups; reaps the benefits of both non-party and multiparty democracy; and entrenches the ingredients of consensual democracy.

通过减少少数民族的边缘化来促进多民族非洲国家的稳定与和平

我针对四个提出的反对多党多数民主制提出的主要反对意见,这些提议是我作为Wiredu非党派共识民主制的替代方案提出的。首先,该系统是持久的,因为它是围绕着定义不明确的族裔群体构建的;第二,由于它把每个族裔都设想为一个半自治的实体,因此该制度破坏了国家建设的一体化进程。第三,作为一种联邦制,该制度在非洲没有先例,因此,它很可能会面临不完全适合的问题;第四,一些非洲族群太小而不能作为半自治实体。然后,我强调了我的系统相对于Wiredu而言的四个优点:它尊重结社自由权;解决少数族裔边缘化的问题;收获非党和多党民主制的好处;并确立了共识民主的要素。
