Social Sciences - History / universal suffrage
English term or phrase: cajole and fool it
All those who, by wealth, education, intelligence or guile, have an aptitude for leading a community of men and a chance of doing so - in other words, all the cliques in the ruling class - have to bow to universal suffrage once it is instituted, and also, if occasion requires, cajole and fool it.

Ja bih ovo "suffrage..." modulirao u "glasačko telo otkad je uvedeno opšte pravo glasa" ili nešto tomu slično jer mislim da će bilo koja konstrukcija zvučati neprirodno ako se ostavi ovo "pravo glasa" kao u originalu. Otud moj prijedlog u tom obliku. Ali konačna odluka je naravno vaša, kolegice.

ovo je delimično u redu, jer se ne možemo opštem pravu glasa ulagivati, niti ga obmanjivati već to možemo raditi samo osobama. Ja bih stavila samo "da obmanu i prevare"
