Not a pure democracy , no , but there are still democratic elements that play a significant role in government . Calling it democracy is useful shorthand , so I don ' t have to say things like representative democracy , or constitutional government , when they mean damn near the same thing . <| sep |> The UK Government has been trying to get rid of it for years . It ' s Northern Ireland that would kick up a fuss and the troubles start all over again only this time an ill prepared Irish defence force would have to deal with it . <| sep |> What happened was a tragedy but why bring race into it only when the white man does something violent and awful to another ethnicity ? Because this racially motivated , why do douchebags like you try to whitewash shit like this .
