| Invitation to tea party |
| 07/03/2010 |
| Tea, and mostly tea parties, is a fundamental term in America’s political culture. As we know, this was the name given to the famous protest at the Boston Harbor in 1773. This “party,” which eventually led to American independence, gave rise to the well-known democratic slogan: “No taxation without representation.”
However, today’s “tea parties” organized across the United States by the Tea Party Movement are not yet another classical democratic form of protest, as suggested by their name, as they are taking place at a time where an elected and representative Administration is in place.
Hence, the protestors enjoy representation by law, even if their representatives are not precisely to their liking and the Administration’s policy does not satisfy them.
