Perhaps one of the questions should be: Are there any functioning democracies left in the world?

For public consumption that requires that a definition be provided for democracy and its variants, followed by a list of countries that make the hurdle(and why)

I can’t come up with a country that does so, but I may be missing something. Vanuatu anyone? Vanuatuans probably wouldn’t agree.

It’s a very worthy topic. But just like in medicine, the diagnosis must be accurate before prognosis and treatment can be effective.

Thank you for that comment Brien. Maybe we even need to define democracy before looking for one 😟

Excellent point - I'm going to make sure that this is the first thing addressed

“… Great Britain’s constitutional monarchy, …”, the author of these words is either ignorant (knows not) the facts, writings and laws of England, or the author is knowledgeable (knows) the facts, writings and the laws of England and has the intent to knowingly, willfully and deliberately misrepresent intentionally.

Neither “Great Britain, Britain nor England has ever had a “constitution.”

A so-called “body of laws, perhaps.

A constitution never.
