Technically: no. It would require that each and every one of the citizens voted on each and every government issue, from public services to national defense.

It is possible to govern a democracy without political parties; however, political parties often play a key role in organizing political activity and providing structure to the democratic process. Without political parties, decision-making and representation may become more decentralized and potentially less effective.
Tutelary (or guarded or protected) democracy is a type of diminished democracy in which the elected government has no effective power to govern and is in need of protection. Examples might be Iraq or Afghanistan though I'm not sure if one can speak of democracy in these cases.
In a democracy the people with the authority to govern a country are those elected to do so by the people in free and fair elections. Also the term of rule is limited and new elections are required every 4/5 years.
They do, they have leaders in which the people vote for. But it is said to be "democratic" because the members of the society have rights to oppose to the ideas of the government. Democracy gives equal power to the leaders and its people. The people also have the right to impeach a certain government official (including the president). You can say that democracy is the opposite of monarchy.
Yes
It's government is technically a republic, which means the citizens themselves do not govern the country (which is true democracy). In republics, citizens exercise their power through voting for people to represent them. The representatives they elect will make decisions/ govern the country for them. True democracy, in fact, rarely exists, and many countries choose instead to be a form of republic democracies.
That's how democracy usually works, so yes.
A democracy is a form of government where the citizens govern themselves. Some countries that are considered democracies are Switzerland, Sweden, Britain, Canada, and the United States.

Democracy
The UK is a democracy. It is true that they have a queen (Elizabeth II) however her position is ceremonial; she does not govern the country. There is an elected parliament which governs the UK.
Representative democracy is a form of government in which citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. These representatives, typically organized in a legislative body, create and pass laws, govern the country, and represent the interests and concerns of their constituents. This system allows for broader participation in decision-making than direct democracy, where citizens directly vote on each issue.

Democratize
A participative republic, also called "democracy"; however no modern country has ever implemented such form of government.
Because, assuming they are able to govern themselves, democracy empowers the people to rule and it should work.
