What reading level is Political Ideals book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If theyare decided according to the wishes of the numerical majority, theintense desires of a minority will be overborne by the very slight anduninformed whims of the indifferent remainder. If the minority aregeographically concentrated, so that they can decide elections in acertain number of constituencies, like the Welsh and the miners, theyhave a good chance of getting their way, by the wholly beneficentprocess which its enemies describe as log-rolling. But if they arescattered and political...ly feeble, like the gipsies and the ChristianScientists, they stand a very poor chance against the prejudices ofthe majority. Even when they are geographically concentrated, likethe Irish, they may fail to obtain their wishes, because they arousesome hostility or some instinct of domination in the majority. Such astate of affairs is the negation of all democratic principles.
The tyranny of the majority is a very real danger. It is a mistake tosuppose that the majority is necessarily right. On every new questionthe majority is always wrong at first.
