Well the alternative is there for all to see, in countries where the democratic nations of the west; have tried to impose their " Democracy "and failed.  These countries were previously either " Tribal " or " a Dictatorship " where people were kept in line, to stop them fragmenting along tribal lines.  Matters were resolved by tribal elders and if resolution was not possible, it was resolved by inter tribal War / Conflict.  So all I can say to those that PLAY at being democratic, but won't accept democracy in it's totality, is............." Keep it up and you'll end up with the society you deserve and that will be the above alternative, we'll see how wonderful your futures will be then "..........fortunately I won't be around to hear the Whinging, Whining and bellyaching.
