Democracy: from the Greek 'demos', people and 'kratos', power:
1: A system of government in which an entire national population is totally deprived of power by a few worthless bits of paper with Xs on them.
2: Totalitarianism with some eye-candy.
Democracy, you either hate it or loath it.
In a democracy, you get to vote for everything except whether or not you want to live in a democracy.

Democracy is a form of government on which a country is aparently run by a few who are voted into power by a mass, we of course know this to be a lie because every form of domocratic government (including the British government)is completely corrupt. Take the EU for example, when did anyone ever get to vote on any EU 'TREATY', NEVER, only the proud Irish got a vote and the EU COMPLETELY IGNORED IT.
british government should be a Elitist monarchy
EU governemt should burn under the foot of the independant european countries
America is ok but can be a bit thick at times.
dieu et mon droit
God save the Queen

A peculiar form of government native to New England, which few other places have managed to emulate.
