The word "harpy" comes from Greek mythology and it's
interesting that this word is dedicated only to women.

Can you think of a similar word for a man?
Someone who plays the harp?

Can it be used on a man - for example
on someone - who tends to "harp on?"

Delving into subjects can be rewarding. Whether
it's into words - or our system of government.

One can learn and grow.

Albanese has failed almost every test he has faced: from internal race-based politics to his government’s anti-Semitic undertones to his own ignorance of economics and his inability to relate to mainstream Australians. 

Here's some clarification:

Has it ever worked anywhere for everyone ?

Indy,

There is no such thing as a "universal democracy" in any society. there is always an elite which has greater power, and holds greater sway than the majority. Are people that naive to believe "democracy" is simply determined by having most adults waltz up to the local school hall every few years and fill in a piece of paper with numbers! Democracy is an illusion, like the hamster on the wheel, we are free to go as far as we like, as long as we keep turning the wheel, and remain in the confines of the wheel. Kept well fed, the hamsters are happy with their lot, and are contented to serve the system. All politics in Australia is concerned with tinkering around the edges, progressive rather than radical change is the order of the day. I am a supporter of our "system of democracy" as it gives us social cohesion and social order, whilst at the same time allowing for slow but progressive change. I'm not wanting to upset the apple cart, just wanting to rearrange the apples from time to time. What about you?

Paul1405,
That's exactly why I've saying for years that Democracy is one of the worst kinds of Dictatorship !
