20 What does the church expect of politics in view of integral development? For the integral development of the human person and of all persons, the Church expects politics to create structures of "participation and shared responsibility" (CA, 46), where the basic freedoms and aspirations of individuals are given full scope to develop and grow. For example, the Church would expect the political community to remove or at least reduce excessive socio-economic inequalities among its citizens. The Church would also expect that electoral processes be truly democratic and fair. Politics must, therefore, not be a tool for the advancement of only a privileged few.
