In Indonesia, one month ago, members of parliement election was held. As predicted by many people that the election was held only able to produce theatrical politics. The elite of political parties meet each other with the reason for the interest of the nation. Based on experience, a meeting of the political elite that only coalitions for their own intersests. Actually, a lot of problems in Indonesia, which should be given more attention, such as poverty and unemployment. Reasons that are often used by the political elite is democracy and people's interests. Indonesian people always complain that life is more difficult. How in your opinion? I see the political process in other countries are able to make people's live better, not as in my country.

Love the title lol! So fitting, "democrazy". True democorcy is dangerous, it was once described as "two wolves and 1 sheep voting on what to have for dinner", it is organized mob rule. a politician gets elected after promising the biggest mob as many goodies as he can and that same mob than turns on the mob that supprted the other guy. We see it happening right here in my own country, we were never intended to be a "democrocy", our founders feared that greatly, we are suposed to be a federal repuiblic based on democratic principals, a hybrid of sorts. It is notable that the more "democratic" we become, the less freedom we seem to have.
