Democratic governments are those who are responsive to their population. Refusing to give in their demand for the abolition of nuclear weapons is denying them their democratic and legitimate rights for the the type of security they want. Governments that maintain nuclear weapons for so-called national security must ask themselves what make them different from autocracies and authoritarian regimes if they deny their citizens the right to chose their security.
