No similarities at all with the system now in force in the UK. Here we have political parties, we elect representatives and there is a vote for everyone over the age of 18. In Ancient Greece only wealthy males had the franchise, and that was exercised, not by electing a representative, but by all entitled sitting in the sun and having a chin wag. Women played no part in the system, nor did the average working helot.

democracy
defined as goverment of the people, by the people.
We have one person, one vote and first past the post wins.
The government is often elected by a minority of the electorate.
Some constituencies have far more electors than others.
Some costituencies have more influence than others, due to their marginal nature.
Yup
the Greeks would probably consider ours to be a shabby variation of the democracy they had
