Ok, recently I was thinking about this. My reasoning was that if the leaders of a nation don't do what the people of that nation want them to move to it is not a democracy (democracy coming from the words ruling and people in Greek if I'm not misstaken).

Therefore I concluded that the Netherlands are not a real democracy.

This (offcourse) caused quite a few heckles to rise (on another forum) but it became clear to me that the word Democracy has many different meanings to different people.


So what's a democracy to you?
