Democracy as I understand is the will of the people and that is indicated by the ballot box. The vote is applicable in all forms of democracy.
Others may not be heirs to the British traditions, but then they still do it by the ballot box.
And even democracies that claim to be purer than the snow of Mount Etna, are not free from aberrations either.
I rather not quote examples.
That said, I am most uncomfortable with the manner in which the leader of Ukraine was removed as also the manner in which Crimea joined Russia.
One was made to flee by muscle power, and the other by muscle power upheld the sanctity of the ballot.
Very odd and very perplexing indeed!
