Last Battalion was of the Judges.

 

Failure of a democracy is nothing but the failure of its Judiciary. 

Power and corruption are overlapping ideas. Power has tendency of overreach. It is selfish and self-serving.

All legislatures and executives are so directly involved with the power that the idea of its judicious use becomes alien to them. It is at best a utopian idea to think that these two organs of a modern state can function without power abuse.

The Last Battalion on the frontline of saving the democracy is always of the Judges. 

So if you see any failing democracy, it means the last soldiers have fallen. The Judiciary has lost the battle and the defeat is imminent.
