Do you agree with Democracy?

[Republique della France]

Personally, I do not agree with National Democracy.

What I mean by that is, I do not agree that the course of the nation, (foreign policy, trade, military, etc) should be up to mere citizens.

However, I believe direct democracy can only work on a small, local level.

Sort of how the USA has set up its Federalist system, although what I had in mind is substantially different.

I do not agree with a President and Vice President System. I am more in line with the Roman Republican model of a Consul, Proconsul, and a Senate, to guide the national affairs.

The thing is, we meet dumber people than we do smart people, and as cruel as this sounds, it is a reality, and I do not think that with all the stupid people around, it would be safe to entrust the nation to these people, and give them a voice.

[Calimera II]

I believe in democracy and trias politica.

Seeing that democracy is easy to corrupt and take advantage of, it is among the worst systems of government out there.

Democracy with the implementation of the Trias Politica has nothing to do with the statement you made.

Precisely.

However, one must admit that there is no perfect system, and every government type is "the lesser of [how many ever] evils."

Personally, democracy should be limited to local-level councils (direct democracy) while the nation governed by a Senate.

[Washington Resistance Army]

Alpacas. That is all.

Yes I agree with it

True, true.

This is unrelated to the topic, but as a Spaniard/French/Basque dude, I love Argentina and their quasi-Fascist state.

[The Fascist American Empire]

For the short term maybe, but not as a long-lasting form of government. It's too easily corruptible. As in WAY to easily.

[Republique della France]

Yes I agree with it

Every time I pass by them, (I live in a massive isolated farming community) they always have their chin up at people, and they strut around the farms like they own the place.

[Othelos]

ironic that some people are going to vote against democracy

And what form of government is hard to corrupt and take advantage of, pray tell? Democracy tends to have oversight mechanisms (such as elections) or checks and balances that authoritarian governments lack, meaning they are less susceptible to corruption and nepotism.

25% very smart, 25% smart, 25% not so smart, 25% surely not smart.

I agree with the idea of Democracy, but I also like the idea of an Alpaca as a president.

[Ifreann]

Democracy is great.

[Galloism]

A Gallocracy is infinitely better.

Yes. Fascism, itself, is also a temporary measure.

Fascism is a radical ideology, and should be implemented in a Republic/Democracy whenever corruption and low morality become rampant.

Fascism for 12-16 years should be enough to purge all of the corruption and fix the moral situation, and can then give birth to a "brain washed" generation that will be responsible enough for democracy.

Democracy is one of the least corruptible systems there is.

Have you ever heard of the term "Mobocracy" ?

Yeah, tell that to the United Corporations States of America.

Hence the use of checks and balances in all modern Democracies. Try again.

The Trias Politica is totally related to this topic because without Trias Politica a democracy is a quasi-democracy.

[Infected Mushroom]

I don't like democracy. Good ideas are suppressed all the time by the majority. No elected politician can ever rise against the mediocrity of the majority.

More like straight up facts. But sheep never fail to follow the shepherd, even to the slaughterhouse.

You mean the country that is still run by representatives elected by the public?
