Thanks for all the replies to my Anarchy question,alot of them have made me evaluate,how seriously i took the concept in the late 1970's,i now think it was just a clever marketing tool by McClaren et al.But onto this democracy question.The so called election in Zimbabwe am I just being naive to feel angry about this affront to humanity,When the U.S. elections went on and zeb bush stopped people voting,Palestinians vote for Hamas and are roundly condemned for not voting the way the U.S,U.K and Israel wanted and even the British electoral system is flawed.I suppose I want to know what democracy is,Is it a Green Zone in Iraq,Is it Hamas,is it zimbabwe.Or are we in the west hypocrites who always cry democracy ,but is our democracy flawed?
