Can I call you little-man than wonderman because it frustrates me to read that there is actually decomcractic principles in the Western world.
The western notion of democracy is merely a tyranny of the minority.

Democracy can't be described as the will of the people because in the decission making process the majority of the people have no-input of what has been decided on their behalf.

Furthermore, the partcipation of democracy by the poor is only dissmal. Most people in the West have lost their confidence with their politicians because of the fact that government policies are dictated by the elite (a small wealthy elite).

Finally I do agree with many that the contemporary Western democratic principles are at least working in organising the western communities but, to claim it as a genuine democracy is a fallacy.
