Reply to "Guyana is not a democracy...."

You govern by the consent of the governed. The question is can the governed in Guyana ever be able to express its consent given that ethnic voting patterns means that the smaller of the two major ethnic groups will forever be not involved in giving it consent.

Guyana does have democratic institutions - a justice system, a Parliament, etc - and a military that's not involved in governance in any way, shape or form.

The current political system may not be perfect (Westminster parliamentary forms may not be suited for Guyana), but it has to considered a democracy.
