I would add that a democracy is defined by how it treats the losers of elections as well as the winners.

I agree, although it's frustrating when many people say "it's not democracy" ONLY when they aren't in the 51% that got their way.

For example, in the US, people complain about Trump winning when Hillary got a higher % of the vote so it's "undemocratic".

The primordial ingredient is Respect for those who do not have the power to enforce their views. Without that democracy is lethal.
