This is not democracy. Not one country in the world implement democracy. Some just enjoy a lot of freedom, and so they called themself democracy since it makes them feel good. But I've yet to see a country where the people use their power. Because that's what democracy is supposedly about : not just people having power, but taking the _responsibility_ to use power, over and over on the long run, to keep shaping their society.
Right now we delegate it at best to a group of people that are already filtered by money or status, which is oligarchy. Not that I don't enjoy my life in the oligarchy, but it's not democracy.
