I think time has to come to re-invent a system to govern people !


Kingdoms & Monarchy, Communism, Socialism, Capitalism will have a new failure friend named "Democracy".
What we have today is liberal democracy. Most people do not understand what liberalism is and often confuse liberal principles with democracy, while the two actually go hand in hand. You're free to advocate your own system of government, but don't simply state that a democratic election was non-democratic -- that just makes no coherent sense, particularly as voter turnout was exceptionally high.

What election would I declare undemocratic in the Western World? The 2000 US Presidential Election -- George W. Bush did not receive the most votes, Al Gore did (550,000 more), but failed to win the presidency because of the American electoral system.
