<br />Pracs no disagreements with you. Democracy, ofcourse, the best form of government. I was talking about the kind of democracy we are having in Pakistan. One thing more I have to add here, democracy more suits a state with more aware and literate people. I don't think we are currently in a position to exercise democracy and derive results from it.

Well when you have a literate, educated and trained workforce and people every thing settles in does it not?. You are right to say that democracy may not be a 'best fit' for a country like ours, but it is the closest best. Remember that the parlimentary system of democracy that began in England did get along, trot, fell over and sort of winded down the road that it is on today when England was not exactly 'literate' and was still to some extent a 'Feudal society'. Although it does not go without saying that Pakistan and England have any similarities. They had the fortune of plundering half the world and colonising it to get where they are economically today. When you are on full stomach you can do so much more !!
