Well, what is it then?
Every four years or so we vote for one of two parties which are, in the greater scheme of things, ideologically identical. Having done our bit for democracy, we then let the civil service get on with running the country.
What are the aspects of "democracy" that make it so great?
The time it takes any policy to be put into practice is greater than the length of an average cabinet ministers time in office. By keeping the cabinet tied up in politics we are stopping them from interfering with the serious business of government.
