Deepak Singh @smarketDemocracy is all about creating a compassionate system that cares for its citizens. It's not perpetuating the old feudal system of Governance where everybody wants Govt jobs and nobody cares for citizens. Yes, Modi has been a complete disappointment.

So what's the alternative to 1-man 1-vote? I hope you mean representative democracy. If you don't have 1-man 1-vote and you don't have a leader as competent as Lee Kuan Yew, you have a total disaster. I'm not arguing that democracy is a panacea for all countries, but still.

That is for each country to discover for itself. In Singapore's it's controlled democracy, a defacto 1 party state. Others may end up as monarchies, dictatorships, republics (with vote restricted based on property etc). https://twitter.com/Rjrasva/status/595266725580406784 … As we r speaking, PRC is 1 party

Every country has the right to self-determination, instead of an Iraq-style imposed catastrophe. Said another way, it's every country's right and their right alone to choose between a functioning gov't for their people or corruption and chaos.
