When the will of the people votes in a political leader in a democracy, that leader is expected to deliver on their promises during their elected term of office. That is the agreement between voters and the voted.
Once elected, when the arms of government combine together to thwart that leader, effectively making their time in office redundant, what has happened to democracy?
The arms of government only take such actions because they do not trust the intent nor judgement of the elected political leader. In this way they feel justified.
The tension in this situation is that the arms of the government are blocking the work of the political leader, effectively snubbing democracy.
The elected political leader will become more and more irrational in their actions in an attempt to show their power. In retaliation the arms of government will thwart more and more.
In this case whether the elected political leader is a revolutionary or a fool, you will never find out.
Once deposed from office, the arms of government will feel justified in wasting a term of office as the system has been protected. The system in his case is meant to be democracy.
The deposed leader will be outraged at their inability to seize and use the power available to them.
The people who voted in the leader are forgotten. So too is the fact that they voted in this leader because they felt the system of democracy was not working.
Hence, the arms of government have stopped any chance at change to a system which feeds them, with the people forgotten.
This is not a democracy. It is an abuse of power by the arms of government who are saying that democracy does not work. In other words they are agreeing with the people who elected such a leader. The people wanted change by openly electing someone who might be able to change the system, knowing that the cost of change might be great due to the nature of the leader.
The arms of government have said, whilst they acknowledge the need for change in the system, they will block it as it affects their power and position.
In such a situation let neither side extoll the virtues of democracy, let alone try to foist it upon other countries, al least not until they can make it work in their own country.
The only leaders in such a country are the people who used the only tool they have to bring change, their vote.
Until such a country recognises the rights and wisdom of their people, it will remain a country in decay.
