Democracy: overrated, or underrated?

@SW-User Whats your alternative?

@SW-User do you honestly think democracy is real and works in the best interests of people?

@SW-User No I asked what your alternative is.

@SW-User I don't know. But any forms of policies are not good enough. There needs to be a reformation of how people vote.

@SW-User People voting is democracy

@SW-User HOW. Is the key word. Reformation would be self indicative of a change from democracy

@SW-User Changing the voting system still makes a democracy.

@SW-User are you serious?

@SW-User Yes absolutely serious, because i suspect you are talking about one person one vote (which is democracy)? Unless you do not agree that everyone should have a mandate?

@SW-User I will again stress on reformation. And that means a change from what you are used to.

I am not here to change your mind. I am here to share my opinion.

@SW-User I am not here to change yours. I am simply stating that if you believe that everyone should be able to vote then that is a democracy. Seriously though, if you are advocating something other than a democracy tell me what system it is and I will happily check it out.

@SW-User I didn't say everyone should be able to vote.
I said voting system should be reformed.

And right at the start I said I don't know and that is why it needs a reform. There are thinking caps in the world who can do a better job than you or I.

If you think democracy works you seem to be unaware of the mess the world is in because of it.

@SW-User It is the best system we have thought of so far. it is by no means perfect, how could it be? It is a way to mediate a diverse and competing range of peoples, opinions, ideas and cultures and it does it with minimal bloodshed and a decent approximation of equality.

There is no better existing system . Just because you hope that these 'thinking caps' may invent something better doesn't mean they will. I am pretty cynical and try not to dabble with faith.

I really believe that the world would be in a much worse state without democracy. You just have to look at the alternatives to it to know that is true.

I am not attacking you or what you believe I was just offering up my own opinion. Apologies if it was unwelcome.
