Hear, here!! What he said!!

Can we agree that democracy does work after a fashion, but that it works 
badly or in a half-assed manner? Can we agree that it works better for 
some than others, namely them that has the gold who makes the rules? Can 
we agree that democracy works better on a local level than it does on a 
larger scale?
   
  IMO it still takes too much money to get elected for a significant local office - if the locality is of any size.

Can we agree with Winston Churchill that "Democracy is the worst form of 
government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time 
to time" ?


It seems to me that implicit in democracy is that the majority is always right. We know that is not true. I would guess that it is more often wrong, but then I might be cynical.
