Abstract
The egalitarian democratic political project aims at “a reconciliation of liberty with equality” (Rawls 1971: 204). Committed to a framework of universal civil and political liberties, it seeks to advance an ideal of substantive political equality, ensuring that citizens’ political influence is not determined by their economic position, a requirement of real equality of opportunity, condemning inequalities in advantage tracing to differences in social background,1 and a conception of the general welfare giving priority to the least well-off.2
