What would change in a 'real democracy' (which doesn't exist anywhere). Would the homeless be housed, would American health care be affordable, would the NHS suddenly have no huge waiting times, would the wealthy suddenly have to pay tax, would the huge wealth disparity disappear, would child poverty be a thing of the past, would political promises made before an election have to kept? I don't think so. Thailand manages OK, it's a Goldilocks system, not too hot, not too cold, I prefer things here to the UK.
