now there's a substanceless paragraph of personal attack drivel of hot air if i ever heard one what is really hypocritical is that complains with something other than their own opinion and yet is happy to accept sources which are nothing more than someone else's 'own opinion' you should really try and think for yourself if you can master that skill you will see that the uk is not a democracy however if you want to take the easy route and simply believe those who are pushing a misinformed or politically biased viewpoint then that is your prerogative i challenge you to show the uk is a democracy if you can successfully do this i will have no problem in conceding to describing the uk as a democracy in this article as a democracy i won't hold my breath i would recommend the wikipedia article appeal to authority as a guide to your logical failings
