I'd say Democracy is working pretty well.

@Elessar It's doing terribly at stopping us from completely destroying the environment, and it's allowing increasing wealth to flow to the already wealthy while millions are still starving, so I would not say it's doing so well, no.

@SW-User That's not democracy causing it, that's unregulated capitalism. If you lost the right to vote rest assured this certainly wouldn't improve, all the opposite actually. Capitalism would be even less regulated if we switched to a non-democratic form of government.

@Elessar it is in Canada, but not USA

@Elessar Democracy as we know it and dictatorship are not the only options; that's the point of my question.

@Wiseacre It is everywhere it's implemented, the US is no exception; they'd fall behind if they lose it.

@SW-User Such as? What's the alternative to "everyone votes" and "nobody votes"? Some vote and some don't?

SW-User

@Elessar That is exactly my question. Surely the imaginative people of SW can come up with suggestions!
