But does it work as it should?

Consider voter turn outs recently. What about despotic measures in countries like Canada that have survived for more than a century? How can one politcal party rule a country, so much so that it can go to war of its own accord? Will enough people ever take an active interest to create a true democracy? Or, will some enter a brave new world of rebranded despotism?

Answers, opinions, rants, flames, lets see what you got.
