How it shows up
People with this line often do not seek power, yet they get chosen because they listen and reconcile interests. As a second line, they are at their best when called upon and trusted with the role. Their leadership rests on transparent systems in which everyone understands their part. The main test is staying devoted to the common interest once the power is actually in their hands.
At its best
The ability to lead by supporting the majority's wishes and relying on rules everyone understands. People trust them because they feel heard. Trust comes easily.
The shadow
Elitism, when the democrat who has gained power stops taking others into account. Talk of the common good parts ways with action, and trust collapses.
Exaltation and detriment
