As I asked a previous poster.
Please point me to a modern-day democracy. I'd be interested to know where there is one.

Weimar Republic was about as democratic as you can get.
And then the economy collapsed... etc.

The UK's not a democracy though.
It's a constitutional monarchy with a supposed representative democracy. But since we're not actually able to vote for the party we want, only one of three, it can't really be called a democracy.

You can vote for any party you like
And if you've got £500 you can start your own party and vote for yourself. The fact that it's not worth it just means we have a shit voting system, but that hardly disqualifies it as a democracy.

They offered you lot AV, and you turned it down - so you can no longer piss and moan about the dominance of a few parties. And that's another reason democracy is shit: the tyranny of the majority.
