Thumbs down Democracy, A system Perfect or Struggling?

It would be better to take into account the statement of "The Introducer(s) of Democracy".
What we know about democracy is just that it is a perfect form of government as it is a rule of people. But "Rule of People" has never had its real meanings. That why Winstion Charchil once said:

"No one pretends that democracy is perfect or elusive. Indeed it has been said that the democracy is the worst from of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time"

His statement clearly reflects the shortcomings of this form of government. Here this point should be noted that he is describing the shortcomings of "Real Democracy" rather than "Worst Democracy".

My point is that:

== if smooth dictatorship is not good, then smooth democracy is also not perfect.
== if worst democracy is acceptable, then smooth democracy is definitely acceptable.
== but more crucial is the problem that neither Real Democracy nor Smooth Dictatorship is best form of government, there is dire need of some Best form of Government.

A very nice discussion indeed.

I would like to point that our constitution, despite a number of amendments, allows the democratic form of the Govt. and not the dictatorship and every dictator had to justify his rule by issuing some kind of PCO of his own. So in a way they are aware that they are doing a thing which is not justified.

So I support any form of the Democracy even like the present one due to the fact that it is backed by the Constitution of our Homeland, so in order to make the dictatorship our form of Govt. our constitution needs to be shaped likewise. And further the oath taken by the Army officers also needs to be amended and it should say that "they will be bound to participate in the politics and in their free time would consider guarding the boundaries of this country".

Dear ones I would never vote in the favour of dictators unless it is backed by our constitution.

Default We are still on the old road..

Worst democracy is better than stable dictatorship because at least under democracy, people have the rights but under dictatorship there is no law, only the dictator decides everything. Our country is a good example, what the dictators have done to this nation is known by many of us. The great leaders were hanged, what can be more miserable for this country that those people who spoke for the people of Pakistan were murdered by the dictators. I feel ashamed when people still say that dictatorship is more suitable. I want ask what have the dictators given to this country? "Suicide Attacks", "Kidnapping of Balochis", "Political Victimization", "Artificial Economic Stability by Foreign Aid", "Instability in the Country", "Human Rights Violation", "Empowerment of the Army Institution", "No Accountability of Government".

What else is left?
