What is democracy? According to Sir Winston Churchill “Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” Indeed democracy has been criticised since its establishment in Greek polis, called Athens. Not to mention the Enlightenment, during which a divide between several structures of democracies evolved. Under those circumstances the rhetorical question is always asked: Are we living in a democracy or in a disguised dictatorship? According to its definition, democracy exists when the 3 main governing powers are separated from each other. Usually, delegates are elected by voters thus everyone can represent their opinion in Parliament. This system has been working for several decades in the US, Germany, England etc. Furthermore, some barriers are included, such as but not limited the age of voters and the origin of the president. In this way a regulated and efficient system can work. On the other hand, as it turned out several times in the history of mankind, these systems are fragile enough to be broken and mixed with autocratic governance. Aside from that it is claimed by many that even the electoral system in the USA includes some deficiency of democracy since voter can not vote directly for the president. Generally speaking, democracy is elusive and has minor changes compared to countries, cultures and age groups. At the same time it is a balance between a governance by all members of the society and autocracy and this is why currently it is considered to be the best system.
