Why is it the best system, and how do you even measure that? I personally like living in a constitutional democracy but the past 100 years has shown us plenty of failed democracies and successful dictatorships (Korea, Taiwan, Singapore).
It seems to me that one of the downsides of democracy is promoting short term thinking. Another is that policies are only as good as the population is educated (US climate change, brexit)

I know loads of them who are highly educated :D Actually it was the poorer regions of the country which voted to leave - that's been explained in detail elsewhere.
- chillacy 8y agoIt seems to me that brexit was for some people a populist movement which put national pride ahead of economic interests. (We don't need the EU to do trade agreements, the British Empire ruled the world back in the day!).
