I asked myself: “Is democracy the best policy? Is it the best way

forward?” While many would agree that Democracy is perhaps one of the

best forms of government, but giving power to people can sometimes be

dangerous especially when the people are not ready to be given power to

choose or elect. In countries where there are more people uneducated

than educated, sometimes when an issue is voted on, wrong opinions are

translated into policy while the truth remains widely unknown. More

often than not, people vote not because of their own rational thinking

but merely based on emotional appeal and sometimes popularity. This may

be the reason why some politicians are using “Democracy” as a tool to

sustain and protect their positions.

Democracy works for educated people. If there are more people uneducated than educated, then it fails. It is just my opinion.
