    Such a dismal definition of democracy doesn't contribute much to the conversation.
    Libertarians, with their pernicious motives, love to do that.

    Because political parties turn backs on citizens, turn backs on democracy and cater to the dictatorship of lobbyists, which party is more left here in Canada: Conservatives, NDP or Liberals these days? What a sick joke thrust upon citizens.

    Political parties have a monopoly on our political system as they do in several countries for when does an independent ever win the PM chair?!

    They even force lies through legislation trying to make liars out of citizens for globalists and their lobbyists while also trying to put their shame on anyone else for opposing their sick and filthy rubbish like the 2017 amendment to Bill C-16 which lead to scientists, teachers, doctors etc. turning their backs on their profession to keep their job under threat of losing their jobs for a selfish interest group of sick and filthy liars and easily baited globalist sock puppets called the lgbt.

    The past couple of decades of this rhetoric has been unfolding in precisely the same way in especially western civ countries in modern day which is factual evidence of conspiracy unfolding on a global scale and it looks like working towards pulling this pandemic rhetoric off right from the open borders with illegal invasions thus more quickly spread this so called covid-19. They already have been getting away with forcing lunatic lies upon you so I suspect that since some sheeple are conditioned they figure they can keep right on going with their lies and deceptions while inciting you wear masks and get shots of which if you can get covid after the shot then you were obviously never vaccinated to begin with, but loaded with bacteria from wearing masks along with side effects that paralyze, stop kidneys from working so body and lungs fill with fluid and even kill people and cause other problems after the shot. How can you trust them?! With anything except to lie to you?!

    There are currently no democracies anywhere in the world. A democracy is an unstable form of government. It usually dissolves into an oligarchy or dictatorship fairly quickly. Athens dissolved into a dictatorship.

    You are correct, although the phrase 'constitutional republic' is redundant. A republic is government by constitution.

    Yes. Athens, for example. It is, however, an unstable form of government. It usually dissolves into an oligarchy or dictatorship in a short time. Athens dissolved into a dictatorship.

    It is the definition of a democracy. A democracy is government by popular vote. There is no constitution. There are no representatives.

    Not if they share equally but if the majority votes for that (to be able to eat someone), not get sold out to lobbyist dictatorship which is pretty much the equivalent of being fed one another these days in many countries in modern day through deliberate political divide ... soon it will be surviving just to bring a loaf of bread home if this keeps up ...
