The question will make you input your opinion.

The question is this.
Do you personally think that democracy, regardless of where it is practiced, and how it is practiced, is always right?

Or to be more specific, do you think democracy is the best form of decision making within a government?

I won't input more bias from myself then I need to. But I will state this, just so you know. I don't believe in democracy due to how faulty I find it, and how deceiving. Every politician within representative democracies, or rather republics in the technical term (yes, America is a two party republic. Don't deny it, and for those in the UK and other parliamentary societies, a parliament is a glorified form of a republic's council/senate and what not.)

Either way its all representative democracy. Voting in men and women who may or may not represent your needs and desires.

That aside I'll merely observe. I will not debate as of current due to lack of time. But I ask due to a bias that conflicts with my way of thinking, that I see when I do venture on here (rarely).

No. I am biased to the opinion that no more than one person can effectively set rule to rite in a country. Don't take my word for it, apparently I'm a left-wing fascist.
Reasoning?
ONe nation, indivisable under GOD. Think about it. ONe nation. ONe leader. A demiGod if-you-will. Truly the best way to have a job done is to do it nyourself, is it not? The president has very little power, HRH Elizabeth Mountbatten-Windsor II has no power, other than being a figure-head monarch..... Truly the only true power is Syndicated power enforced by an iron fist. Look at Caeser, and Alexandre! They were kings! Emperors! the democracy should be the figure-head power! Not the monarch!

Well I don't believe in hereditary dictatorships, rather succession should be a form of competition of power. Doesn't mean it has to be overly bloody though.

Also, how the **** can you be a "left wing fascist?"

That is an oxymoron within itself. Fascism is probably the most conservative, right wing ideology there practically is!

Democracy is sort of great...and sort of not. It allows for what the majority of people want to happen. However, this does not mean that the majority is right, well informed, or has any intelligence whatsoever.

I don't think democracy is always best. If the public is well educated, then sure. But when you have uneducated people who will end up hurting themselves then it's the leaders job to protect them.

One thing to mention is the fact with first past the post ballots, its not by popular vote parties are elected, its by state/ county/ province. Meaning if there is many elitist controlled provinces or whatever, the elitist supporting party will obtain power.

Not to mention, alot of people don't ****ing vote to begin with.


There was a philosopher who stated that an educated populace is a much "better" populace then an uneducated. I forget his exact name but he was a Renaissance scholar. He may have been a snob, but the word seems true it seems.
