Democracy = 'Gang Rape'!!!!!

An interesting metaphor for democracy....Usually described as 'tyranny of the majority', it is now given a more provocative and risqué label that otherwise puts forth the same criticism about democracy. Being based on majority votes, it can be seen as a 'gang rape' on the rights of the minority if the people did not vote responsibly and in an enlightened fashion. If u think of recent overturns of autocratic regimes by democratic ruling, it is not unlike the 'gang rape' mob rule where disorder and chaos are often the result....think the Arab Spring, Iraq and Syria.....and look at Malaysia now...GASP!


Sample Qn:
Consider the view that efficient government is more important than democracy. (2011)
