What does Democracy mean to you?

Jaan, 23 years old (Estonia)

To be honest, democracy is the most uneffective way to deal with things. Yet, the world’s experience has shown that the countries wth democratic system are wealthier on almost every sphere as such. On the other hand, in case the democracy works as meant, almost (I say almost) every person has the rights with what I’m used to live after and couldn’t be without. These values seem so ordinary to me but I know and have seen situations and countries where these systems do not work.
