      A failing system of government, which like communism works in principle but fails in practice.
      ALL democracies end up serving the needs of rich interest groups and detach themselves from the populous. which inturn results in the majority of the people being governed by a minority.

        Taken from the Greek demos and kratos (people and power respectively), it refers to the system of government in which the entire population effectively rules through a concentrated body which relies on the populations opinion as a source for its policies.

                  Any of a number of forms of government which at their core have some degree of [decision-making] performed by a system of voting. Exactly who can vote (franchisement) often varies quite widely, and has historically in many countries been divided along lines of age, gender, religion, economic status, class, race, ethnic group, language, nationality, and citizenship. The degree of participation can also vary. A direct democracy, for example, would [in principle] have all decisions made by popular vote. Most democratic nations use some form of [representative democracy], whereby voters designate certain people or groups to make decisions for them.
