Re: Democracy

It depends on how you define democracy. As Justinian pointed out Iran is democratic, as is China, North Korea, Burma and a few other "regimes".

So perhaps the question is not "Which is the most democratic" but "Which democracy is most like our dream of a democracy"?

See, the problem with democracy is that everyone has an equal say, so frequently democratic votes (thanks to outside interference) become little more than two Wolves and a Sheep deciding on what is for dinner.

Re: Democracy

So let me refrase: Which democratic countries democracy seems to be the fairest and most uncorrupt?

Re: Democracy

Not the UK, I can tell you that.
We are currently in the odd position of having the House of Lords to thank for the continued protection of our freedoms rather than the elected House of Commons.

In my view the House of Commons becomes more American every day as the members become more an more obsessed with point-scoring than serving the people.

Re: Democracy

Not Belgium. The division of three powers isn't as it should be. There is large interference between the 3. It is democratic in that sence that the parliament more or less has the highest power. People gonna should me for simplifying here but that is the large picture.
Not th EU. It doesn't communicate enough. People know to few about it so the control function upon their leaders gets corrupted to much.

I don't know wich country is though.

Re: Democracy
