In most countries today, they practice democracy and democracy really means a lot and a very good system of governance when practiced well. But the democracy system of government being practiced today is used to steal and it’s now a means of enriching themselves the more forgetting about those that brought them into power.
I guess every government system in the world has it's flaws, like what you mentioned - democracy. Early in the 1900 century though, everyone thought that this is good governance as it makes everyone accountable.
But we are all wrong as those elected officials took advantage of it and just enriching themselves and it's supposedly have transparency but there's none. Everyone has it's vested interested and that's what they are going to work during their terms in the office. And it's just going to kill the country itself with this all of corrupt officials with no transparency whatsoever.
