I Do Not Speak for Democracy Democracy is a form of government where the majority has the final say. The minority is not considered and must live with the results of every law and election, with no freedom of choice.

Democracy is power that humans cannot handle. Greed, closed-mindedness, and the need to be right would overpower any sense of control and laws in place. Pure emotions would run the country and
