West had representative governments , even in ancient times , but there are no such examples in east . Why is democracy inherently a western concept ?
Why do dictatorships that are tax havens -LRB- such as the ones that used to exist in North Africa and the Middle East -RRB- fall to civil wars and revolutions , but the ones that are democracies -LRB- like Switzerland and Ireland -RRB- seem to continue on just fine ? Is it connected to how they approach their existence as a tax haven , or is there no connection there at all ?
