everyone is a potential terrorist, numbnuts
I didn't realise that everyone prayed to allah.
matthew you still havent told me how the minority is better than the majority at deciding the fate of the country
Well, to be perfectly honest, representative democracy, imo, isn't perfect, and can be proven so since the average voter doesn't usually know much outside of the main elections, but at the same time nothing better has come to take its place ( and no, Communism, Fascism, and loving Dictatorships don't work. Look at the failing North Korea if you want proof. )
But Letting the big cities full of, clearly uneducated people, run the country, because 'muh pure democracy' is handicapped.
we need a representive democracy so EVERYONE gets a say, and while some states still get more of a say than others, we aren't really handing the power over to a mob rule, or a state equality of voting rule either.
So its a mix, but if you don't like that, you could always try making your own country.
