This ““a people”, who takes decision in a democratic fashion. However, that a decision is made with a democratic decision method by a certain group of people doesn’t suffice for making the decision democratic or satisfactory from a democratic perspective. The group also has to be the right one. But what makes a group the right one? The criteria by which to identify the members of the people entitled to participate in collective decisions have been surprisingly difficult to pin down. In this paper, I shall revisit some of the problems discussed in my 2005 paper in light of some recent criticism and discussion of my position in the literature, and address a number of new issues.

Abstract An n × n partial Latin square P is called α-dense if each row and column has at most αnnon-emp times in . An × array where each cell contains a subset of {1,…, } is a (, ) -array if each symbol occurs at most times in each row and column and each cell contains a set of size at most . Combining the notions of completing partial Latin squares and avoiding arrays, we prove that there are constants , > 0 such that, for every positive integer , if is an -dense × partial Latin square, is an × -array, and no cell of contains a symbol that appears in the corresponding cell of , then there is a completion of that avoids ; that is, there is a Latin square that agrees with on every non-empty cell of , and, for each , satisfying 1 ≤ , ≤ , the symbol in position (, ) in does not appear in the corresponding cell of .
