					<description>Do you think somebody gave the British their democracy overnight? These peoples have fought for it. It hasn't been an easy task for the Bourgeoisie in that country to tame the power of the ruling nobility. 

But what you see as a democracy, I see a joke where the average yob has a voting power to choose a ruler among the elite. The benefits s/he gets are scraps to keep him/her happy. Once the elite in Armenia filters down to what we have in the West, we will see similar level of democracy there, too.

					<description>Most of my day passed today criticizing the British Democracy. We had 3 sessions today dealing with the:
1. Social History of Britain
2. British Politics
3. Britishness

You can be sure, that I told the lecturers enough to keep them disappointed from the &quot;UK Democracy&quot; for the rest of their life. 

I found mistakes and flaws in every single system and aspect of Democracy existing in the UK. Still - I wasn't doing that to prove anything to anyone. I wasn't asking questions about checks and balances or government accountability or law-obedience of citizens just to prove the UK have got it all wrong - because they haven't!!! With all the problems and issues in the UK model of Democracy - it marvellously works. And I wanted to understand - HOW?

No matter what me, you or anybody else finds going wrong with their democracy - if the citizens of the UK want to change the government - they can do it via the most simple and democratic method so far discovered in the world: by VOTING!!! 

And we - the Armenias, who have this pretty good constitution, brilliant law on freedom of information, an exquisite system of checks and balances with Judiciary, Legislative and Executive branches nicely laid out - WE JUST CAN'T send the bloody Kocharian regime away even if we VOTE, RIOT, PROTESTS, IMPEACH or do a combination of all of the above!!!</description>
