Good points Steve, the other point about Democracy[ WHEN IT WORKS WELL] is that it should be able to take in to account changing situations
Democracy must be built through open societies that share information. When there is information, there is enlightenment. When there is debate, there are solutions. When there is no sharing of power, no rule of law, no accountability, there is abuse, corruption, subjugation and indignation. Atifete Jahjaga
