[quote=Sadistic-Savior;438901]Other democracies. You can find a definition here.

Now you don't have to wonder anymore. You're welcome.

Thank you for the definition, it was most gracious of you, still what made you think it was necessary to supply it I really don't know I somehow fail to remember though, aren't all world democracies supposed to be included in this deciding vote? They weren't last few times.

You determine if the masses have legal control over their own government. If the answer is "yes", then it is a democracy. If the answer is "no", then it is not a democracy. The specific structure is irrelevant. A Constitutional Monarchy (for example) still fits the definition of a democracy so long as the masses have control of the Constitution.

And if the government or people that legaly elected it displease you, then you topple it, and put a "better one" in its place. Chile anyone?

Incidentally, I don't see you chucking sticks and stones at Turkish government these days?

How are they not a democracy?


Uh, I don't know. Maybe the whole Kurdish question stands in the way somehow.
