Kinda?! There are many democracies, it’s a big old subject with a lot of propaganda.

E.G. some argue (not me exactly but I am idiot) that proportional representation is still part democracy and part authoritarian, as elitism and corruption are enabled by having career politicians and power behind closed doors. So in that argument everyone has to represent themselves equally in matters of group power to be democratic. Pretty much a synonym for anarchy in the political, not idiomatic sense. It requires enormous organizational skill though.

So the best we seem to be able to maybe pull off is some kind of balancing act, managing authority like our teutonic overlords the house of Windsor, to real power on Bay St. and Ottawa. Mixing that with the long history of common law, which needs refurbishing, and something where votes are not discarded.

So I guess proportional representation is good enough eh, maybe shore up the Bill of Rights a little too. Pragmatism and compassion is how we represent ourselves, so let’s do it.
