Democracy is a system of government that doesn't work and will probably fail altogether within the next few decades.
Reasons;-
1. The majority of the electorate tend to be idiots who will elect an idiot.
2. The majority of the electorate tend to be selfish morons that would elect Hitler if he lowered their taxes.
3. Politicians use pathetic, small-minded catchphrases that mean very little, eg. 'hug a hoodie' or 'for the family.' Mr Idiot, the average voter, however, votes on the basis of these.
4. The rich and powerful form a better connected, private-school educated elite who are far more easily able to take office.
5. In America, leaders take ordinary words and add '-ism', 'mis-' so that Jimmy Redneck with his shotgun thinks that they're using 'big werds' and are therefore smart. Eg, 'they misunderestimated me'
6. In America and elsewhere, policy is over-rided by how bigger fan of 'Jeezus' or 'Gawd' a person is, forcing intelligent politicians to do lip-service to religion, and allowing fundamentalist scum to rise into office.
7. Politicians will always be able to whip up the masses to do their bidding at the expense of civil liberties by citing a common enemy, real or imagined. Eg. The war on terror.
Democracy in action;-
Politician;- 'I believe in the power of prayer, and not to defamilarise ourselves with the misinformation of terrorists. Family First!'
Jimmy Redneck;- Dang I'll vote for that guy, he's usin' thems big werds like an intellesuel, and he's got gawd on his side! Yeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwh!

Mob rule.
Works in theory, fails in practice.
The government never really cares about the opinions of the people who support it anyway.

1. A weapon of mass destruction introduce by George W. Bush in 2003
2. An excuse for war. (see oil )
You better hope there's no oil in your backyard, otherwise George W. Bush will bring democracy to your house.

Democracy is just a illusion. It does not work properly. that whole idea that ppl have their say through it is fake.
Most Democracies are actually a type of government called an oligarchy

A system in which anyone is free to vote for whomever they want, at which point the winner of said election sells out to any number of whacko special interest groups including environmentalists, unions, and prisoners.
Democracy is great when it works; unfortunately, most politicians don't.

Great governmental system, doomed to fail once the masses figure out that with their vote they can loot the treasury.
Alex D'Toqueville, some Frog who toured and chronicled America, pointed out about 180 years ago the fatal flaw of democracy.
