So, the best outcome of democracy is that it is a democracy! That is what we have discovered after all this mental gymnastics?

A democratic government shows slow but quality decision making. It has lesser number of conflicts. Such governments work in controlled way i.e., they can't take decision in an autocratic manner. Democracies often frustrate the needs of the people and often ignore the demands of a majority of its population. The routine tales of corruption are enough to convince us that democracy is not free of this evil. At the same time, there is nothing to show that non-democracies are less corrupt or more sensitive to the people. But the democratic government is legitimate government. It may be slow, less efficient, not always very responsive or clean. But a democratic government is people’s own government. That is why, there is an overwhelming support for the idea of democracy all over the world.
