Democracy

Democracy that is not much more than an illusion isn't much of a democracy.

As seen in Myanmar, someone being barred from an office legally won't keep them from trying to seize power illegally. Someone who wants to grab power badly enough isn't going to be concerned with what is legal or illegal. There is no guarantee people will never have to fight for a democracy again as they did before there were democracies.

Democracy

Democracy is a form of government where people have the opportunity to participate in politics at all levels e.g voting for their own government. They will choose a government who will make decisions on their behalf and rely on the president and representatives to create decisions in their best interests. Presidential elections (USA) take place every 4 years and General election (UK) takes place every 5 years. The next presidential/General election is taking place in 2024 for both countries.

Democracy Is an effective form of government which provides fairness as the public have the right to have a say in who should run the country next.

Democracy

Something the Urban Dictionary doesn't believe in because instead of letting urbdic users upvote or downvote a definition, they have this friend called the Algorithm. He is a mythical genie who decides what goes viral and what doesn't. Unfortunately, he/she/they/them/him/her/ will choose whether something has more likes than dislikes or has more dislikes than likes rather than people on urban dictionary to decide for themselves.

Urban dictionary needs to put Algorithm in retirement and impose a democracy so the urbdic community can decide which definition is good and which definition is bad.
