True democreacy, like true communism, does not and at the moment cannot exist.

If the two did exist, you would be hard pushed to tell them apart.

The only possible way to establish government by the people...etc., is for every citizen to have a voting pad wired into a government computer and vote en masse on every question or debate.

It takes long enough now to reach important decisions. Imagine what that would do to the process of government.

Mind you, it would put paid to party politics.

And I'd call that a real good bargain, government trumps politics at long last.
