| Mindlessly silly. There are various types of democracy

| there is only one 'true' democracy.
|
| You clearly are one of those fools.

|
| Only if you are stupid enough to claim that a direct
| vote on particular issues is the only 'true' democracy.
|
| And even with the approach the swiss take, thats much more
| complicated than it looks because no one, including the swiss,
| actually get a direct vote on every bit of legislation and it only
| gets enacted when it ends up with a majority voting for it.
|
| AND even if that approach was taken, they certainly dont get
| a direct vote line by line on the bits of every bit of legislation.
|
| Even someone as stupid as you should
| have noticed that that just aint feasible.
|
| AND one of the VERY fundamental basis of any real democracy
| is that some issues arent ever put to the vote, like say if morons
| should be killed when identified, or whether its ever put to the
| vote that just one religion is the only acceptible religion, etc etc etc.

| Read them thanks, likely before you were even born.
|
| So you can take your suggestion and shove it up your arse.
|
| And thats not a suggestion, thats an order.

|
| There is no 'answer' you stupid pig ignorant child.
|
| In some respects SOME of the american system is
| much more democratic than anything the frogs have,
| particularly with the referendums that some states have.
|
| In other respects america is much worse,
| particularly the quite undemocratic approach they
| have with  presidential candidates for example.

|
| More mindlessly silly stuff. Its got fuck all to
| do with whether some grossly inbred royals are
| elected or not when they have no power at all.
|
| You can however make a case that the pom
| House of Lords is by far the least democratic
| institution amoungst just those 3 countrys.
|
| Tho the frog system has its own
| terminal stupidtys in those areas.
|

|
| Pity thats got sweet fuck all to do with what is a 'true' democracy.

|
| Pigs arse it is. There is no such animal as 'etiquette'
| with usenet which happens to be as close to pure
| anarchy as you are ever likely to personally experience.

|
| Typical childish stunt. Spew your puerile shit and then
| put your fingers in your ears, close your eyes and try
| the usual thing 3 year olds try, 'nyah nyah, cant hear ya'
|
| Fat lot of good that will do you anyway, child.
