No, I am not defining democracy.
I mention the reasons why the EU might not be a democracy and why the decisions regarding the new copyright laws are not very democratic.
Even if the people had a choice (direct democracy) which they have not, the people would need to know about what is at stake by being honestly and completely and actively informed by EU and the mainstream media which they are not.
It is contradictory or undemocratic to do both:
- Say the EU is a democracy because the representatives in the EU parliament have been elected to make the decisions at their own will.
- Say that people (opponents) should get involved to pressure or to beg the representatives to enforce the preferences of the loud opponents (probably a minority).
