But democracy is inept. It&#x27;s an illusion. We as citizens (at least in the UK) don&#x27;t have any day in the running of our country or the decisions that are made by our government. Every four years, we&#x27;re given a choice to elect the party that we think will do the least damage, while hoping and praying that they&#x27;ll keep their promises (although it should be noted that they&#x27;re under no obligation to do so). Even the petition system has no effect on anything. 10,000 signatures warrants a single reply, while 100,000 means it&#x27;s considered for debate. We&#x27;re all just sheep at the end of the day, and it&#x27;s foolish to think we actually have any control.
