People only like democracy when it does their bidding
Democracy, or "majority rule," survives, as the phrase suggests, because it appeals to the majority. Most people arecontent in this system because they agree with it. So discontentment will only arise within minorities, but because they are minorities they can’t change it...!
Thus the status quo is secured for as long as the system remains. However, when some extremist party enters the governing institution of any democratic country, even the people that usually shiver with excitement at the mere thought of democracy start proclaiming restrictions to the free vote.
Because the truth is that they only supported democracy as long as it successfully brought their own values to the status of laws. Can these people really be taken seriously?
