It is not undemocratic to impose something on everyone. Democracy is the rule of the majority, not the consensus of the whole. Therefore the majority is entitled to impose its will on the whole. The TV licence, as an Act of Parliament, is therefore quite democratic.

And just how many acts of parliament do we have that breach human rights.
Edit and to boot yet another very poor peice of comparison
Drivers licence £38 which lasts till what about age 70 free renewal
TV licence anually recurring and increasing till your 75 where you will get it free if your still alive or not in an old peoples home
Nice how we treat the aged in Britain.
