To find peace and contentment. Only the democratic order facilitates this to the highest degree possible. In In Defense of Democracy Anne Marie Waters clarifies what democracy is, and what it isn't. Democracy is not voting. Voting is merely a method, it is not democracy itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDemocracy is free and open access to the ballot paper.
