Theoretically Ancient Greece was democratic.But thten that all depends on your view of Democracy.... Who decides who gets to vote ? And then what do you do with the decisions that the voters make ? The plan is that if the vote is 51% against 49% then we all do what the 51% decide..... it simply ain't so !
