選挙結果は民意の反映と言われるが，ここにいう「民意」や「結果」の意味は曖昧である．これらの言葉の背景には何があるのか？一票の価値の較差が二倍にも三倍にもなるのを，なぜ，司法は許容しているのか？　なぜ，衆院選では小選挙区と比例区と二つあるのか？選挙の仕組みと憲法の観点から「公正な代表」の姿を問う！

On 23 May 2019, when the results of the general elections were announced, Narendra Modi and the BJP-led NDA coalition were voted back to power with an overwhelming majority. To some, the numbers of Modi's victory came as something of a surprise; for others, the BJP's triumph was a vindication of their belief in the government and its policies. Irrespective of one's political standpoint, one thing was beyond dispute: this was a landmark verdict that deserved to be reported with intelligence and without bias. Rajdeep Sardesai's new book, 2019: How Modi Won India, does just that.

Bernays, often dubbed the "father of public relations," argues that propaganda is an essential tool for guiding public thought in a democratic society. He outlines strategies for manipulating public perception, drawing from psychological and sociological principles. While his work is credited with pioneering modern public relations, it has also drawn criticism for its potential to be used for manipulation and control.
