3.0 Leaders and how they came to power: not all in democratic elections; I would suggest looking at http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/leaders...

All these nations call or consider themselves democracies. Democracy is a  `flexible`term.

I guess that armed with these facts, as well as tons of free time, a person, with modest political knowledge can determine which countries are really democracies.

Answer 4

'Democracy' is different for every society, country and ruling parties. Even Mugabe of Zimbabwe will swear his country is democratic, and it is.

ONE THING that is for sure is, "DEMOCRACY" is not not a democracy when another force or country pushed another country to adopt their system. That is the contradict of democracy.
