Democracy is a joke
-
LOL!! I do like that addition. Do they revote or give the office to the runner-up?
After a election the seats in the Kennsett are divided up by the percentage of the Vote
for each party...To form a government a party needs 60 seats, since that never happens, the
majority party must get other minority parties to throw thier seats into a government
so you could have 10 parties making up a government. The Prime Minister is named
from the Majority Party. If any of the parties don't like what is going on they can
vote no confidence, and the government has 60 days to find the 60 seats again,
if they can't do it, then they must re-elect the seats from popular vote -
Why is it that in a jury, a majority is not enough, you have to have a unanimous vote?
Democracy doesn't work because most people don't think for themselves. They follow what they want to follow, they let their emotions lead them.
We know from history how easy it is to manipulate the masses (Hitler, Stalin, Bush).
Especially in a country as large as the US or India there's no way the people can have true representative democracy.But still, I'd still pick democracy over a monarchy, dictatorship or theocracy. At least in a democracy you have a chance of bringing about change.
Democracy isn't perfect, it is susceptible to corruption (I don't think a "true democracy" can last very long, definitely not 200 years), but I wonder if this is really the best we can do.
It seems to me that the flaws of democracy are the result of the flaws in human nature. -
