I never mentioned the word "democracy". Arguing that definition is
pointless. But real power lies in many hands, in government, political
parties, business, unions, military. Anyone who acts like a dictator wont
last long - they must play politics. Dont you agree? What did you think
I meant?

Because its not one person ruling by decree.
