First of all, I am from a country always having political problem.
Elected governments often (if not always) corrupt or govern in the way to benefit themselves over the nation or people.
Politicians likely go for their own benefit and hardly represent people needs as they are supposed.
People of Thailand, Philippines, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, etc have to protest, set up a mob, etc to request or send a message of what they really need instead of doing that through their representatives.
Why does democracy seem to work well in Europe and North
America, but not in the rest of the world?
What is missing in those systems?
Do they have less good politicians?
Is it their culture?
Aren't people aware of their roles and rights?
Don't they have enough education?
What is wrong with their systems?
How can we fix them?
