Representative democracy isn't democracy. That's a soft form of corporate dictatorship. What we can call democracy is the direct democracy. Just take a look at Switzerland. The only really democratic state on the world.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voting_in_SwitzerlandSwitzerland has as fantastic idea for Democracy, we had a referendum on the UK about the AV voting system ( Australia ) I was more than happy to vote in that because the politicians were actually asking for my opinion rather than just making all the decisions for themselves, I really hope we get a referendum on the EU >_<. Citizens should always have the right to overturn a law by a politician otherwise you're simply electing a dictator every few years rather than a real leadership.
If we had direct democracy the war in iraq at least here in the UK would never have happened ( over a million people marched against it ), the bailouts would never have happened because people were having anger fits about them and we could overturn currency monopoly laws with enough signatures.
