I don't think democracy is the best system to have in all cases. A classic example of this is Philippine democracy. It is worse than elementary school class elections. Anyone who starred in a movie is capable of winning the presidency. Already two popularly elected presidents have been ousted from power (it was almost three after last year).
The Philippines could use a good does of dictatorship. It's weird saying this, but a leader like Marcos (sans corruption) would probably do the country a whole lot of good. Now, with Russia moving closer and closer to becoming a dictatorship, should we let Putin take control, or intervene somehow? |

i think that for the rest of this decade, and maybe part of the next, china should remain the way it is now. over half its population is illiterate, and if democracy was instigated, corruption would be much worse than it is now, since it would mean that over half the population can be bought over.
even in taiwan, there is still vote-buying going on. and so, i feel that it really does depend on how "far along" the country is. |
