The problem with democracy

<< < (3/3)

Don Rizzle:
erope is alot more developed in that way because we have more parties in our governments however it can have its drawbacks depending on how you see it because they can often lead to coalition governments which could potential compromise key issues. In britain this is not the case we have 3 major parties but effectivly its on faught between labour and the conservatives for ruling power.

Think of the government if it were more like a business and the population is the board of directors the current system you vote the government in and out every 3 to 5 years regardless if they're doing a good job or not. I think governments would be run more effectively if you only vote people off when someone is fucking up or not doing the things you wanted them to do, this would make it easier to maintain relationships, perfect their field, reduce uncertanty and make a more effective stable cheaper government. Lets face it we need to slim down these days because we need to do all we can to try and compete with the east.

[KRS-One] Class in session. What, is, democracy?
[student] Yo it's the rule of the people. The self rule.
[student] It's what the people want!
[Krs] That's right. But is this a democracy?
Nah, democracy is a goal to be attained.
[Krs] That's right. The character of the people should be reflected
[Krs] in the laws and the institution of the state.
Psssh, I don't see my character reflected!
[Krs] Tell me

not that I dislike democracy... just like the quote

democracy does work, is it 100% effective? no but i think the U.S. is a prime example at democracy working at its finest and that's being the most powerful nation

--- End quote ---

The only things it does is keep the poor people down and the rich even richer. If you think just because you are allowed to vote that it is working then you are seriously wrong. America has the highest ratings of everything it should not have for the money it makes.

King Tech Quadafi:
terms like "democracy" cannot be thrown around and applied at will.

in some countries, the last fuckin thing they need is democracy. In some countries, thats the only thing that will keep them afloat.

Look at Pakistan for example. That country is better off without being a democracy,
