In any country?
I believe mostly not, but sometimes the people can be wrong or not know what they are getting into. What are your guys' opinions?
Well, yeah.
Any true democracy would be "too much" democracy.
Would you want to live in a country where people could just vote to reinstate black slavery? Majority wins?
How about a nation where men could vote to expel females from the workplace, or from public entirely?
In my opinion.... well, a lot of societies that I really respect don't feel that "majority rule" is a functional way of doing things.
If 49% of people vote against something and 51% vote for it, and so the government implements it... well, 49% of the population is still unhappy. Everyone is at odds.
These societies believe in discussing things and compromising until everyone- or as close to 'everyone' as possible- is satisfied.
Of course, this would not be particularly feasible in a large society like ours.
It mainly works in small- tribal, really- communities.
