In a democracy, we expect the government to be tight-fit, transparent outfit that sticks to the body of the assembly of the people, not a thick-covered body that has a mind of its own.

Democracy is a whole package of institutional course for arriving at political decisions. It encompasses the spirited artistry of exercising compromise, negotiation, and, indeed, cooperation. If it comes to merely counting votes, it is just a body without soul.  

Democracy never guarantees the best to be elected. Democracy, as it is designed and when it is functional, supposedly guarantees stopping the worst from doing evils.

One can argue whether democracy has always committed to and resulted in safeguarding liberty and equality. Rest assured that there would be no safeguard for liberty or equality when democratic proceedings become operatives of money.

If this was a proper functioning democracy this government would have been kicked out long ago,

If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it.
