Democracy despite it's faults is amongst others based on the basic idea that everyone has the opportunity to participate- and so the institutions are representative- sadly it's not as simple as that. When widely divergent peoples come together their is little chance of them coming to a consensus- what you get then is democratic despotism- a tyranny of the masses. To me rather than contrive some artifice to force the population to comply - as the left does through immigration policy- the right does the same with IR policy- to allow them to form their own communities ruled by themselves- but Lincoln preferred to go to war killing many in the process- good for him. At least he saw some truth before he died and tried to reverse some of the things he started.
