Democracy rocks!
No one has found a better system than one person one vote, majority wins.
Hard luck to the elderly couple who bought a nice condo to spend their last days when 80% of the condo decide to sell off the condo enbloc to make some money.
You are enjoying a walk along one of the shady avenues of Singapore, A bough breaks, drops down and hits you on the head. You are crippled from the neck down for the rest of your life. Hard luck too, when the majority decides that a leafy avenue is more beneficial to the bigger good than the selfish interests of your one life.
How about gridlock?
When 55% of your condo votes to sell enbloc and you are in the minority 45%, do you obediently acquiesce?
Welcome to gridlock.
There is nothing wrong with democracy.
There is a problem only when some smart alec hijacks it for his personal gain, whether it be ego or material, thinking that he knows better.
