Democracy is a difficult term to define. I do find it difficult to accept that choosing between teams of politicians to somehow represent my interests is in any way democratic.

It is a bit like kneecapping someone, but offering them the choice of left knee right knee or somewhere in between.

Taking part in a system means to me reluctant acquiescence rather than acceptance.

I can't think of any government which is democratic. Having said that I'm not sure that I would like democracy if it ever happened
