Political sovereignty may, then, mean the electoral plus all other vehicles and influences that mould and shape public opinion. Garner gives its much wider scope when he says, ‘‘In a narrow sense the electorate constituter the political sovereign, yet in a wide sense it may be said to the whole mass of the population, including, every person who contributes to the moulding of public opinion whether he is a voter or not.’’ But this definition robs political sovereignty of its connotation as it is widely understood.
