JUST PHILOSOPHISING ON - THE PROBLEM WITH DEMOCRACY, IS...!

The problem with 'democracy' is that some would argue that there are no problems with 'democracy.' 'Democracy', they would argue, is pure and virtuous. 

'Democracy', they would contend, is like the 'Virgin Mary', like the 'Mother of God', virtuous and without equals or parallels among the different forms of governing people and their countries. 

For them, 'democracy' is without peers, peerless and immaculate. It is the most 'fair', 'whitest' and fairest, most enlightened of form of the different systems of governing the people of each and every country.

But the problem with 'democracy'' is that this is a very big lie; that 'democracy' is the best form of all the systems of governing and ruling a people. 

Yes, 'democracy' can, indeed, be a good system for making decisions regarding how people are governed. But it is certainly not ipso fact the best system of governing people or ruling a country.

The problem with 'democracy' is that it is only partly about 'letting the people decide', and more about using how the people decide to inform what happens next.

The problem with democracy is that it is really a process and not an end or outcome of that process.

The problem with democracy is that it only represents the choices of some of the people, and not necessarily that of the great majority or most of the people. 

Where it is not a democracy based on single transferable voting procedures.

The problem with democracy, is that it is not and never will be, of itself, a panacea for the difficulties and challenges involved in how best to govern people. 

Despite its idealization and its ability to confer negative power onto to masses. And provide superficial political legitimacy for the ruling elites.

Especially in those countries where nothing or not enough is being done to improve it operation and representative.
