A non existant form of government in which every citizen would have a vote on every issue.
Unfortunately impossible to exist on a scale larger then a village due to massive stupidity of general public.

A failing system of government, which like communism works in principle but fails in practice.
ALL democracies end up serving the needs of rich interest groups and detach themselves from the populous. which inturn results in the majority of the people being governed by a minority.

The current UK and US governments are both cases where a minority vote has put a leader into power against the wishes of the majority.

A form of government in which all citizens vote on issues that face the nation. The first true democracy was in the Greek isles. Though they where a strong nation they where easily defeated by the Romen empire because they where spread apart and information traveled slowly.
A true democracy couldnt work in the past because of the slow travel of information, but in the present day the internet could be used.
PLEASE NOTE: The United States Of America is not a Democracy, it is a Republic.

Ancient Greece was a Democracy.
The United States is not a Democracy, it is a Republic like ancient Rome.

A system within which fairness and merit is despensed with in favour of empowering idiots.
As Plato pointed out - the people do not always know best, even what is best for them (in the same way a small child doesn't!)
Current democracies feature governments with the support of a minority of the population and a bias towards those who form the majority and so therefore have their every whim pandered to on the basis that it wins votes.

Tony Blair's slightly less than popular government.
The UK system of doling out benefits to those too lazy to work, but who still vote.
Democracy.
