Sad that across the pond in the USA, democracy has resulted in the complete opposite to what it was intended for. The USA which was envied for many years as a bastion of freedom and freedom of speech (But not now), has enabled the rabble-rouser, the extremist, and just about anyone with a petty grudge or gripe, or who is different (Which means the entire population really). America has failed to understand human nature and their own people, in that in attempting to enable and equalise everyone the sole result is anarchy and a free for all, and a right to shoot at those who disagree with you, even plant a few pipe-bombs at their seat of government.
There are leaders, and the led and any attempt to address that is against what the USA stands for where anyone can be or do anything. America now needs to change the way it approaches democracy or descend into absolute minority rule. Yesterday's events did more for countries like China, Korea and Russia who could not have hoped for a better reason to state, 'this is what you get for being democratic..' Incompetents rule and extremists support them. They, of course, would have shot the lot or sent them away somewhere for the rest of their unnatural.
Obviously who the Americans choose to lead them is down to how they vote (Which doesn't seem to be all that straightforward). But there does seem a total lack of political awareness in the USA whom the Brits assume politicians only get to be elected via how much is in their bank balance and not by any suitability for the job, it costs billions of dollars not votes to get to the white house. As a result, they got Trump. The wild West came to town. They need to dump the gun culture and start educating their populace, greed isn't good.
