Democracy
Defined by: "a system of
government by the whole
population or all the eligible
members of a state, typically
through elected representatives."
Democracy is derived
from the Greek,
'DEMOKRATIA'
'DEMOS'
'KRATES'
'the
people'
'power'
Linked to a system of 'parliamentary
democracy' or better known as
'Westminster Democracy' in the UK.
There are three main types of
democracy
Direct
Totalitarian
Indirect
Direct democracy (also known as pure
democracy) is a form of democracy in
which people decide (e.g. vote on, form
consensus on) policy initiatives directly.
For example: Refurendums - recent one
include that of the 2014 Scottish
Independence Refurendum
Relating to a system of government
that is centralised and dictatorial
and requires complete subservience
to the state.
For example: allows
people to vote, however
only gives the electorate
one option, e.g. China.
Representative democracy (also indirect
democracy) is a variety of democracy founded on
the principle of elected officials representing a
group of people, as opposed to direct democracy.
For example: people can vote for someone to
represent them: Westminster elections, European
Union Elections, Assembly Elections and Local
Elections.
