WHAT DEMOCRACY DEMOCRACY? Entrepreneur

Democracy (Greek word meaning government of the people) was conceived in ancient Greece, in a slave society where only aristocrats were voted and elected a modified model followed in Rome. After the dark Middle Ages, Britain, France and America, the bases with an illustration of a more or less democratic after achievement of universal suffrage to all races and social positions, and later for women full twentieth-century modern democracy in the Western world. But here while the full model in this century, we analyzed the 3 elements: 1) voters, in principle all, but lack of interest in politics leads to brutal abstention rates (in the U.S. only 40% rate), 2) the chosen : belonging to a species of sects (games) with almost no internal criticism, where civil strife and the disqualify the other party is above the construction of an ideology, preferably also seeks to spread the vote between two of these parties, and transmit the voter with the idea of \u200b\u200bgood and bad, and there are only two options, 3) the electoral system: the major parties mounted systems which benefit the two-party election, and the unequal power of each vote, depending on the territory and the party who votes, and in Valencia, establishing a limit of 5% of votes in voting makes about 80,000 votes a party has neither an MP, from these two majority votes, with just 20,000 votes earn an additional member (shame), and at another level one vote in Teruel, or in the Basque Country is worth more than one vote in a big city, ie one man one vote (but worth all men equal? .) In the end, with 20% of the voting stock in a country made by a party and well distributed can govern with an absolute majority. Should not we rethink what of democracy as a tool and how improve the actors and the system of choice?
