There is no democracy anywhere. Not in teh US, the UK, nowhere in Europe nor anywhere else. We cannot have a democracy when the choices are between this party or that party. We have no real choice and are in fact choosing the "least worst".

The Electoral College in the US, the 'First past the post' in the UK are systemic barriers to a democracy as well. There is no Democracy
