America is a puppet democracy.
or,
Fuck this puppet democracy, I'm moving to the Russian Federation.
1. United States foreign policy.
2. bombing another country, regime changing another country or invading another country.
The United States is spreading democracy in the middle east.
1. A pseudo-democratic government, where the democratic nature of the country is of great value without forsaking the aspect of executive oversight, to protect and secure not what the citizens want but what is thought to be in their best interest.
2. A nanny state; usually intended derisively.
When we live in a parental democracy, where the two blocks that govern do not offer alternatives, when the state becomes, as in Goya's painting, Saturn devouring his children, the radicals emerge, young anarchists flying their flags made of gunpowder.
1. a term, coined by former russian president Vladimir Putin to describe russian political system, democratic governance with considerable level of control by the government.
2. a euphemistic term used to describe supposedly free (democratic) relations, but with significant control in reality.
"Sovereign democracy" is a Kremlin coinage that conveys two messages: first, that Russia's regime is democratic and, second, that this claim must be accepted, period.

Workplace Democracy is the application of democracy in all its forms to the workplace. This can include voting systems, debates, democratic structuring, due process, adversarial process, systems of appeal. If this sounds a little left wing, it’s because it is and can pose a risk to the organisation as democratic initiatives can be taken over by extremists and twisted so that they no longer conform to their original intent so that the organisation becomes a toxic workplace.
Workplace democracy can be implemented in a variety of ways, which are subject to the size, culture, and other variables of the organisation itself and can vary from a total democratic system to employers asking opinions of employees without taking into consideration their beliefs and opinions.
There is, however, one point to be made, whatever may emerge during the democratic process in a workplace, someone still has to make a decision, otherwise fuck all gets done.
“That heale Malcolm is telling the boss he is entitled to more leave than anyone else, but the boss told him to get lost.”
“That’s workplace democracy for you.”

A staple of any Australian election day, the democracy sausage is a simple, yet beautiful, tradition: a barbecued sausage, laid gently on a single piece of white bread (or a white roll if you're fancy), optionally topped with grilled onions and either tomato or barbecue sauce. Must be consumed one-handed by folding the bread around the sausage, and eaten from one end. Found at polling places around the country, usually primary schools, sometimes in the vicinity of a cake stall.
You: Hey mate, wanna go grab a democracy sausage after we number all the boxes on the House of Representatives ballot paper and at least 12 boxes above the line or all boxes below the line on the Senate ballot paper?
Ya mate: Bloody oath I do!
