We will change our system! <Insert false promises>"It's the same pattern we see, and whenever people vote for the "Most honest politician" they seemed to have this great idea to just simply destroy their reputation and plunge a country to a grave that we will never dig out from.Whilst I agree, it's good that we have the ability to vote for the government. But do we have the ability to vote for "Big decisions" that the governments would take? I'd be surprised if we get our say about the issue.
True democracy never really exists, however hybrids like democratic-republics (or federal republics) do actually exist for countries like Canada and Mexico (even though the Mexican government is controlled by the drug lords, but that is another story) so yes there is a form of democracy in it, but the government is only the democracy while the people are the republic. However there is still corruption in democracy because in mob rule, the minority is not safe and can be killed by the mob. So a constitution can protect the minority from the majority, now if the founders of the nation made amendments for the original document of the constitution that cannot be changed which then lessens the corruption and the limitations of the government (leaving the people alone). However, I think this video explains a bit more of these basic forms of governments actually:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDS1OHk7Lf8
