Liberal Democracy is the most legitimate form of government

I noticed my opponent entirely ignored my points to just state his own. The burden of proof is on the pro's side and he has failed to address the proof I have provided. I will go on to address the points he has pointed out. But the con side so far has not refuted any of the points in the second round. "The problem with many countries that are liberal democracies is that their elections are perpetually class base." My opponent has made the claim that liberal democracies are class based. He seems to be implying something is wrong with class.What is wrong with class? To deny it would be to deny the difference in capacity and ability among human beings. Even jobs are based in classifications in order to pay wages. Hence why people get re-classified. The definition of class: a number of persons or things regarded as forming a group by reason of common attributes, characteristics, qualities, or traits; kind; sort: a class of objects used in daily living. Classes exist in every notable society of significance. Even Rome, considered one of the most influential civilizations had a class system. In an aristocracy or monarchy there are landed gentry, commoners, lords, and royal families. In Japan feudalism had a daimyo(lord), samurais, commoners, and merchants. In a liberal democracy, class is usually determined by the amount of wealth one posses(upper, middle, and lower classes). There were classes in the Soviet union as well. http://en.wikipedia.org... http://en.wikipedia.org... http://www.facts-about-japan.com... http://www.photius.com... "We see this with the democrats trying to get the proletariat and the salariat to vote for them through social programs such as welfare and food stamps;" People are voting by choice what they want, not by exercising force upon their opponents. If the voter choose that, they receive what they want. "The most legitimate form of government there could be would be a libertarianism form of government. The strongest example of a country with both personal freedom, economic freedom, and smaller government than any liberal democracy would be Ireland." The con side must of missed the purpose of the debate. It is to argue the most legitimate form of governance not the freest. Ireland is a liberal democracy. My opponent has also made a bold claim with no evidence. The con side has said Ireland is the most freest government yet has failed to show proof.According to Freedom House, the countries that have the most freedom are the Scandinavian countries. All of those countries have monarchs by the way. http://en.wikipedia.org... http://www.jstor.org... http://www.freedomhouse.org... http://www.freedomhouse.org... "Basically the United States used to be the best government it could be back in the mid to late 1800's until the income tax," The United States was a liberal democracy in the late 19th century as well. As I mentioned earlier, we are not debating what the most freest countries are. We are debating the most legitimate, not freest. Libertarianism is not a system of governing. Libertarianism only discusses the amount of government interference into the whole of society. An autocratic or oligarchic society could be libertarian. http://en.wikipedia.org... http://mises.org... http://reason.com...
