Arguments against democracy

• Democracy is not a magical solution for all the problems
• Democracy has not ended poverty in our country and in other parts of the world
• Democracy as a form of government

  It only ensures that people take their own decisions
• This does not guarantee that their decisions will be good
• Involving the people in these decisions does lead to delays in decision making
• Democracy leads to frequent changes in leadership
• Sometimes this can set back big decisions and affect the government's efficiency
• Democracy of the kind we see may not be the ideal form of government
• The real question we face is: is democracy better than other forms of government that are there for us to choose from?
