India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, expressed similar sentiments.
Democracy is good.
Parliamentary democracy in Britain has a special character which stems from the fact that the British Constitution is not to be found in a single document. Treaties like the Act of Union between England and Scotland in 1707 and the treaty with the Irish Free State in December 1921 have helped to shape the Constitution as it is today. Similarly, statute laws have established constitutional principles which have then been interpreted and developed by the courts. The whole complex system has developed gradually over the centuries and continues to do so. The State Opening of the British parliament, an occasion of great pageantry and historical symbolism during which the Queen's Speech unveils the Government's programme for the new Parliamentary year, is captured in this scene in the House of Lords.
