"clearly not the UK or the US". If it is so obvious, please explain to me. Obviously we are not technically a democracy, but if you were to ask that question you should know also that no government on earth is a democracy in the sense of the ancient Greeks, who elected positions via lottery (such that every citizen got they fair turn) and let everyone vote on issues. Surely the US & UK are not that, but what makes you say that they are so clearly not democracies by the definition so commonly used today?
