Democracy is good to an extent. But in a way it is no better than a monarchy or a dictatorship. For one thing, democracies bring beauracracies. And with those, I feel a sense that I am not cared for.
In democracy, local and state people are voted for. But the people really do not vote for the president in the US. That is because our mean founding fathers thought that the common people were too stupid.
Even in democracies, there are always those people who think that they are better.

Ideally, democracy is good, but not perfect, especially not today. The problem with democracy is that it splits the nation apart so that we label ourselves and "enemies" according to political parties. We become divided as a nation because our ideas and policies don't coincide with each other. Rather, having democracy and electing a political party to office is merely a front for the majority to pursue their own interests and agendas, rather than to look out for the general public.

Real democracy is governance by the people for the people. It is as good or bad as the people whom comprise it. Nothing more, nothing less.
The so-called western democracies are plutocratic republics -- government by the wealthy for the wealthy -- they just let people chose which members of the plutocracy are going to tell the bureaucrats what to do for a few years. It is a form of crowd control and a way of legitimating tax collection. Nothing more, nothing less.

In truth , much of what democracy stands for is lost in our modern lives. With so many people no even voting, a general attitude of apathy exists. We end up electing a party dictatorship. In England with no written constitution, the party in power has no halts or controls for it`s four or five years in power.
