# Dialogue
[[Tynops]] [[Elaches]] on democracy and the [[Senate]]
> "The assemblies once had supreme power, and the [[Senate]] only advised them. Then we were one city, now we number in the scores. The [[Senate]] tells us that this means democracy is dead. But I say the army is the next best thing. It is open to all classes, and anyone who fights knows what it means to depend on others. And soldiers are the first people who pay the price for a mistake."
[[Milos]] [[Elaches]] on democracy, [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Lucon]], [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Rhagaea]], and [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Garios]]
> "The Empire, before it was an empire, was a republic. Popular assemblies made the decisions. My family were known for their talents as rhetors. We took it upon ourselves to speak to the popular assemblies, to steer them to reason. It is not easy to get a tumultuous crowd to think in its interests and not follow its passions, but we tried."
>
> "The popular assemblies are dead, of course. The temptation to turn our affairs over to a tyrant, or a gathering of rich old men - it was overwhelming. Who wished to deal with the chaos, the stubbornness, of a crowd? It was never easy. But I still believe that the only just way for a community to make decisions is for all its members to vote."
>
> "[[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Lucon]] [[Osticos]] and [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Rhagaea]] [[Pethros]] will never restore the assemblies. Neither has any faith in the people. [[Characters/Bannerlord/Imperials/Garios]] [[Comnos]], well, he is no democrat, but he has that faith. I will fight for him. Maybe he will bring back the assemblies. No one else will."
