When I typed : Democracy and asked Google for definition this is what I found: a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.
a : government by the people; especially : rule of the majority. b : a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections. 2 : a political unit that has a democratic government.

It is interesting to observe that in majority (if not all) so called Democratic Countries this is not the case. There is naturally a Mirage on surface where parties in power insist they are elected but if you scratch surface I found troubling things:

1. I found system where it is in fact Dictatorship of Rich in Power.
   Since rich are not majority this fails to meet standard of democracy.

2. Found system where it is Dictatorship of Two Ruling parties. Since population being forced to choose between two parties is not accurate representation of its population this also fails to meet standard for democracy.

3. Found system where its pretty much a club of same people who periodically change name of their parties. This is mainly corruption and clearly fails to represent population.

Where does your country fit and what do you think about your system? Are you happy where you are?
