Where there's political will, sadly there's a won't

First, a question for you. What is the opposite of political will? Well, according to Civicus, the answer is "political won't". Civicus is the global alliance of civil society groups that works to protect civil rights and boost the accountability of organisations, governments and corporations. A thousand of its members from more than 100 countries converge on Glasgow's SECC today for their World Assembly, which this year focuses on participatory democracy.
