What are the bad things about Democracy?

Answer 1

1. It hands power to the people, many of whom are generally stupid. It may be better if we were ruled by "philosopher kings".

2. Democracies are not democratic - in a country that uses a single transferable vote, it would almost certainly produce a hung Parliament where power is decided in back rooms not by the voters.

3. Voters can be bribed, threatened etcand votes can be tampered with. In countries like Afghanistan, bribing one tribal leader could change the election.

4. Not everyone votes.

5. Many voters vote based on personality, not policy.

Answer 2

Poverty, and the unbalanced distribution of wealth.
