The spelling mistake will be ignored. But what is not easily forgiven is lack of a single capItaL leTteR while quoting the Urdu paNdit.

Re: Is democracy really the best form if government

Hazrat Zardari, ALLAH unhe jaldi se jaldi jannat naseeb karay, farma gae ke democracy is the best revenge! Chinese wont get it. But we are getting it in terms of Trump :bummer:

Re: Is democracy really the best form if government

agreed. too many idiots in the world, giving equal voice to them produces bigots like trump and his supporters.

Re: Is democracy really the best form if government

In societies where law and order reign supreme yes it is, but where corruption and nepotism is rife then you could argue otherwise.

Re: Is democracy really the best form if government

Some people deserve dictators. Any system will fail if idiots are running it. I am not a fan of politics of governments. I am a borderline anarchist.

Re: Is democracy really the best form if government

What is USA then? It's considered a nation belongs to category one that your mentioned. But the Democratic way of doing things seems to be failing

Re: Is democracy really the best form if government

Is it? How so?

Re: Is democracy really the best form if government

We had a chapter2 user who used to call herself vulgarist. Can we all form a democratic coalition? :p

Re: Is democracy really the best form if government


the reason why trump is rising to the ranks of presidential nomination is because of democracy. That is what the article is saying

Btw, to be fair, the method of electoral college is designed specifically to counter the problem of idiots being elected because they gained popularity amongst common men. Somehow, at least in case of trump, even that system is back firing.

Re: Is democracy really the best form if government

You live in USA so you know better than me, but for all of Trump's bigoted rhetoric I don't think he can implement racist policies if he's President. He will change his tune then, we know he flip flops as it is. If the majority of the population votes for a bigot then well its on them! I don't think we can criticise democracy for peoples' decisions.

Re: Is democracy really the best form of government

during Zardari’s reign, Pakistanis used to say:

“democracy is the best revenge!” :hmmm:

Re: Is democracy really the best form of government

theorist - it's not really about dictators either. and as for anarchy, that sits on complete lack of governance which is not going to work. just because democracy fails in some situations, does not mean that the whole concept is flawed. a tighter, more well regulated form of government seems ideal where voice is given to reason and "freedom of speech" isn't abused.

Re: Is democracy really the best form of government

Maybe time for America to re-think it's two party democracy. I'm pro democracy, but pro multi party democracy, I strongly believe that there should always be a third option.

On topic, in the words of Churchill, democracy is the worst form of government until you consider all other forms of governments that had been tried. So democracy is just a better option, but by no means the perfect system. There is always room for improvements in any democracy.

Re: Is democracy really the best form of government

Yep, pretty much what I wanted to say as well!

Re: Is democracy really the best form of government

Not Pakistanis, not even most PPP supporters but Bilawal or his father who only knew two lines.

Re: Is democracy really the best form of government

@Jolie, well we have Green party, and then running as an independent candidate is always an option. The thing with USA socio political issues is that the issues are so black and white, that you are either on one side or the other. There is no third option, hence there is hardly a need for a third political party.
