I agree with that, one vote every 5 years does not a democracy make, it's everything that goes with it that makes a democracy and like it or not those things are being eroded, the right to protest has pretty much been curtailed, the judiciary is hardly independent anymore and the legions of unelected quangos are ruling more and more of our lives.
