post democracy

the term is relatively new. it refers to the current state of (political) affairs in the united states (but probably doesn't preclude the emerging political model in many european countries...). it basically refers to the ever-widening ideological gap that exists between the voters and those receiving the votes. a political model that underscores a voter's influence. this term was coined by gore vidal.

that ours is a post democracy can be evidenced by last month's poor voter turnout.

democracy

Mob rule.

Works in theory, fails in practice.

The government never really cares about the opinions of the people who support it anyway.

Democracy

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.

Virtual Democracy

A type of government which has representatives as we see in the United states, but with one large alteration: No Electorate. This means that one person, one citizen, equals one vote. No longer is the unnamed electorate (appointed by the current representative or executive) going to vote for thousands of people. 1 person = 1 vote is fair impartial and is influenced directly by the people, as a democracy had originally intended.

God, I wish our democracy was a virtual democracy.

Democracy

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.

democracy

1. A weapon of mass destruction introduce by George W. Bush in 2003
2. An excuse for war. (see oil )

You better hope there's no oil in your backyard, otherwise George W. Bush will bring democracy to your house.
