Do you think the democratic system is working?
Or is the way it's structured making the rich richer, and the poor poorer all the while keeping them suppressed with the illusion of having a voice?

In many countries, the democratic system works very well, in other countries not so well.
It has a lot to do with for how long the country has had democracy and how well developed the democracy is. Democracy can be defined and interpreted in different ways and in some cases, I find that countries have democratic systems that in many ways are undemocratic.
What matters a lot is that the society is not in which the democracy should work is not characterised by corruption and the democracy has become part of the culture so that people are engaged in the democratic processes and committed not just to vote but also to take part in the social debate and influence political decisions.
