Democracy

America is a sick country. They have financial control over everyone. If they wanna land in Shannon they just fly right in. We have no choice. We rely heavily on them financially. If we stop them and a they hurt us who do we go to for help? World Bank. Who funds the world bank? America.
It's disgusting. They have us by the balls. They've got everyone by the balls. They've their web knitted through the entire workings of the western world. They've their hands up everyone's asses. It'd be fine if they were out to help us but they're not. It's ridiculous. It's too much power for one point of view.
Poor (not sarcasm this time) Bertie has a really shitty catch 22 on his plate. It makes me sick thinking about it.

From Wikipedia.
'Democracy' (from Greek) literally "the people rule") is a system where the population of a society controls the government. It may be narrowly defined as that of nation-state government specifically, or more broadly to describe a society as a whole, which can also exert political power and social power.
Democratic government aspires to serve under "the people" rather than ruling over them. This ideal is pursued by implementing some form of a
voting system, usually involving indirect representation.'

'Democracy is often implemented as a form of government in which policy is decided by the preference of the real majority (as opposed to a partial or relative majority of the demos/citizens) in a decision-making process, usually elections or referenda, open to all or most citizens.'

It seems America sees fit to apply other forms of government to other nations.
