Title: Democracy

Where democracy is an “experiment”, it must always be in peril. Most of the democracies in the United Nations are externally imposed experiments. Democracy was an ideal imposed upon the world by the handful of states that dominated the world in 1945 and organised it into the United Nations.

And it has been doing this for so long, and so spectacularly, with five World Wars to its credit and hundreds of Small Wars, that it is doubtful whether it is something that would be capable of existing as itself in the way that most peoples do.
