It’s a “democracy” but it’s mostly ruled by a handful of old guys coming from long-standing political families. Your vote is mostly there to justify the rule, not to change it.
“Democracy” might just be the most abused word in modern history. Literally means rule by the people, “the people” assumed to be the general population. We almost all acknowledge that the country is controlled and run by a vanishingly small social class and yet we still insist on repeating this democracy myth.
