Well, my country fortunately doesn't work with the thing that has to pass as "a democracy" (yes, I'm talking about the US of A). And I'm a right Liberal.
Basic Points: - Less tax - Less money if you don't have a job/if you're sick - Less people get admitted into the country (those people seeking jobs)

A research publlist last week put the Netherlands 3th on the list of best democracies, behind Sweden and Iceland. The US was somewhere around 19...

I don't know, why not? We also talk about marxism and leninism. Although Sparta was in fact a theocratic democratic monarchic olligarchy (you can hussle the word
)

I did a paper on Sparta ones. Ok the correct grammar: democratic timocratic monarchical oligarchy.
Sparta had 2 kings from 2 noble families. Thoss kings could make and pass laws. That's why Sparta is a monarchy. To pass laws they worked together with a group of 28 retired Spartans, they were called the Council of Elders. They were all male and passed the age of 60. To become a member of the Council of Elders you had to be choosem by the other men, you also had to be retired of the army. Beeing a council member was a job for life. This council is why Sparta is also a timocracy. Below that you had all Spartan men, they also voted for the laws, but had smaller weight. This system is theoratical a democracy. Above this all, the kings, elders and other men you had the Ephores. There were 5 Ephores, choosen for a year by the Council of Elders. These 5 men were the real rulers of Sparta. Just as the kings they could create laws, but above all they had the power the depose one or both kings, when they had sufficient evidence of course. Further the Ephores run foreign policy, finances and education. They also lead the selection of infants, the weak were left behind in the mountains. Hmm looks similair to the Altmer No idea why I just wrote this, perhaps somebody cares... Mormacil Ephores comes from the greek word Ephoros. It comes from Ephoraoo, a verb, which means to take care/supervice.

Yeah, I remember when out teacher explained the ephores to us.
Quote:There are five ephores. Those Ephores were very powerful. Those Ephores were the most powerful people in Sparta!Our class had a good laugh at that.
