1) convincing the people who have not experienced it that it is a good thing.\n2) making sure that power mongers don't taint it or try to take it over.\n3) making sure the neighboring aggressive countries don't see it as a sign of weakness and attack.\n4) making sure the older democratic countries who are "helping out" don't stick their business all over your country.

Democracy is an important idea that should be spread across the world. Malaysians would benefit from democracy. Though I have to say, it is never good to be forced fed democracy by a foreign nation; it must come from within the nation, by the people.

Revolution.  After two suspicious elections, you can no longer trust the democratic process.  You would probably find that several countries would support revolutionaries, should they come to a position of power.

We still vote in the USA we are not a dictatorship. We also have a president that is willing (no matter what kind of crap is thrown his way) to stand up for our democracy and others. Think about not being able to leave the country, have any control over who you work for, or be able to vote.

Democracy is the best we've had so far.  I would like to see more direct democracy in the future.\n\nThe converse of democracy is a dictatorship.  There are many advantages to a dictatorship as well.  Countries with dictatorships essentially take a greater gamble.  A democracy will never vote in the best leader for a country, because the average IQ and political knowledge of a country is not great enough to make this decision.  A dictatorship with a perfect leader would enjoy a strong government for the leader's lifetime.\n\nThe problem with a dictatorship is that when a bad leader is in place, or when power gets the better of them, the country is stuck with them.\n\nKeep in mind that the most deadly dictator of our time, Hitler, was born out of a German democracy.  Now, Hitler never won more than 37% of the vote.  Somehow, the majority government fell and handed the power to him by default.  \n\nAll I can say is that we still have a lot to learn about what makes a great government system.\n\n\np.s...I agree with the comments about communism, but must mention that this is a separate issue from democracy.  A Democratic Communist state could theoretically exist, and it may just happen in the future.  Keep in mind that it may be much ado about nothing.  We call ourselves a Capitalist state, but are far from the true meaning of Capitalist.  All in all, we are a mild socialist state.   Likewise, a future Democracic Communist state would likely not be a true communist state, but simply a stronger form of socialist state.\n\nIe.,,,the possible futures of China or Russia.

Egypt. It's very far from democratic. The government is assigned by the President. You should alter your question to: Is there anything I agree with???!!!!

Some people might argue that true democracy is taking root in many places world wide, while others say that it is merely on the surface, and our current "democracies" are really just oligarchies masquerading as republican forms of government.  I do believe, however, that true democracy exists - otherwise, for example, how could a terrorist group like Hamas become the elected majority in the Palestinian government?  Only the wishes of the radicalized Palestinians could have made that happen, and I haven't heard any charges of corruption in regards to that particular election.  Look at Ukraine in 2004, the so-called "Orange Revolution" where the dictatorial government there was ousted after a successfully contested election.  Democracy can prevail.

A Democracy can operate using a number of different voting systems, but essentially needs to ensure that the Government renews its mandate on a regular basis (4 to 5 years).\n\nAll people of a country must be involved in the democratic process.\n\nThe Government must be independant from the Judiciary. The courst must be free to pass judgement based around the laws of the land rather than on the political will of the Government.\n\nThe Government will need support from a non-partisan civil authority to ensure that laws are drafted correctly and constitutionally. The civil authorities also ensure that government policy is carried out.\n\nThe policing of a Democracy must be answerable to the courts as well as the civil authorities.\n\nTaxes pay for all of this.\n\nThe best or worst democracy is a subjective matter. Good or bad is not measurable in a way that allows comparison between the various systems.\n\nYou could survey different populations to take their views, but that will have problems. Bad Governments will try and influence the results and people may answer based around their view of their politicians rather than on the system itself.

India is democratic country and a good one at that.\n\nHowever the problem lies in the way people can be manipulated for their votes.\n\nIf a vast majority of population lives on less than a dollar a day, it is not very difficult to get their vote in return for some money, is it?\n\nThe solution lies in educating people and making them financially well-off, make them realize the power of their vote.\n\nIt is for the young and educated of the country to quit talking about it and start doing something about it.

Nepal's got some problems, they got Maoist revolutionaries knocking down the front door, and a monarchy that needs to leave by the back door , so democracy can form. Am very surprised the US is just idly watching this. We're on the verge of losing Nepal to China.It wouldn't take as much to form a democracy there, as say Afghanistan, If we could just get the monarchy to listen, and let us or India, anyone really,{except China} put in a few thousand troops for stability.

the answer to your direct question-- is a definite NO. as to the thesis that accompany your question-- it all depends. not all countries are in the same "bag" --humans differ as to their origins ( I mean social and political) and their heritage and their experiences with different types of governments or rulers. we can not and should not over-simplify "democracy" that it is applicable "as is" to all countries. that is wrong and that is why we have so many issues and problems in countries where their applications is resented. to cut short a long conversation -- democracy is the best among the the worst alternatives. but it should be applied with degrees of latitude to that particular nation/government/population -- like all social remedies in life -- it will take time before it bears fruit. hope it helps.

yes, there is too much division and no discussion going on in this country.  democracy is about debate.  that means you have to listen as well as speak.

in general no democracy has ever lasted very long,  America was formed to be a republic, where the need of the government and all people held an importance.\n\nNow that America is switching thier government to a more pure democractic system,  This normally allows for corruption and control by fringe groups ( which we see happening)  It weakens a nation to such a point that there is either a military or civil revolt or the country is taken over by another nation.

That's for the Indians to decide. They are the world's largest Democracy in terms of population though.
