As citizens of any nation we love having the power in our hands. Yes that's absolutely good. We love our voices being heard, we love influencing the final decisions to be made in the country.
Why do we love it so much? It's a simple answer, we get affected the most if the wrong decisions are made by the government or those in power. But wait, is it all good that we strive for democracy all the time?
Well I would argue that there's a downside to everything and there's a price to having freedom, and no I'm not talking about fighting another nation to protect borders and have freedom from oppression. I'm talking about the downside of achieving freedom to do whatever as a citizen of a nation. (By whatever, I'm only talking about things that don't break laws)
The funny thing is that you don't necessarily have to do something that breaks the law to create problems, sometimes a wrong financial decision of the government can cause more harm than sky rocketing robbery cases.
Is it true the the view or opinions of the masses could be wrong? The answer is a big fat yes, and that's the problem with Democracy. In a case where everyone's voice has to be heard, making a final decision can take longer times, however in a case where only a few people make all the decisions, the masses may not be considered all the time.
So in this regard, is Democracy bad?
Nope, Democracy is not bad, but I think it's just very weak. Everybody wants a Utopian nation where everything and everyone is nice, peaceful and things progress fast. Strong national currency, more jobs available low cost of living, practically an easy life.
However reality is quite different. There's a downside to good things and very democratic nations are no different. Democratic Countries are a bit too open and welcoming. Being a welcoming nation is cool but when you welcome the wrong people, you're only setting yourself up for disaster. Allowing everyone to enter is not always the best thing.
Now I'm not in Europe so I can't speak for them but millions of people are moving to Europe because they are escaping war and violence. Think about what could happen if let's say 5000 of them were secretly trained to be sleeper agents in Europe. Very democratic countries at war can be taken over easily.
The most effective way to destroy a group, community or country is by planting an insider enemy.
Gosh I was talking about Democracy and ended talking about immigration stuff, hahahaha
The point I'm trying to make is that Democracy is awesome but just not enough. It's not enough to simply create a platform where everyone's voices or opinion is included in every decision to be made. Votes are a great way to let the people decide but what if the masses are persuaded to make the wrong decisions.
Let me hear in the comments what you think is the best governance system for any country or culture. Although there's no Universal system that can handle all problems with the same effectiveness, I would love to know what you think would be the best.
