Abstract

Most people in North America revel in the fact that they live in countries that are ruled by the best type of political system available: democracy. People who advocate for the use of democracy will argue that all of the other systems are flawed and democracy is the best choice in terms of political system. One only need look to the history of the past few centuries to see the pain and suffering that has been caused by other forms of political systems. In this way then, democracy is a comparatively good political system. Those of us in Canada and the United States (and elsewhere were democracy takes place) understand that we could all have it much worse. However, few of us that live in democratic system understand the shortcomings of democracy, and the ways in which it desperately needs to be improved. There have been many shortcomings of democracy thus far that have been hard to address, including the bond political class and the citizen base, and it is unlikely that these problems will ever be improved on as they have become too entrenched in our system.
