Just what is this Democracy?

It's supposed to be "The Rule of the People" isn't it?

These days some seem to think it's the will of the people as defined by a majority vote...... that is, just so long as it goes your way? If the democratic vote doesn't go your way, then the empty kettles kick off and demand another vote until it does go your way? That's Democracy?

Here we have a couple of different illustrations of the will of the majority being questioned:-

First we have the referendum, the majority vote was to leave the EU so now the "remainers" want another vote because the first didn't go their way.

Secondly we have the strange situation where Corbyn was elected leader of the Labour Party by a members vote but now 170 odd members of his team have lost confidence in his leadership and there's been mass resignation amongst the shadow cabinet but agitating members are saying he was elected as leader by the democratic vote of members so he should remain as leader.

Who's he going to lead if a large slice of the parliamentary Labour party have no confidence in him and won't work "under" him?

Simplifying things a little, it's a bit like the members of the Manchester United board and members of the team saying they've no confidence in the manager and won't work with him but the fan club say he's the man for the job and say he should remain?

Soooooo, where does the above leave "Democracy"?
