How democracy should be like

Election day in taiwan,they showed the ideal way of democracy.Candidates tried to get their point across in any possible way.Openly insulting their opponents on national tv,saying wat they feel that is right even if their idea is against superpowers such as america and china.If their point cannot be gottne across through words,there is always a last resort,mass demonstrations ,violence.Fights in the parliament is not a rare sight in Taiwan.This is wat i call balls.In a bid the earn more votes,candidates hired russian pole dancers and singers to sing and dance in their rallys.The election is also full of drama,bomb scares,shootings and even a actor was beaten up by 2 guys until he suffered a concussion for supporting the idea of the independence of Taiwan.

On the other hand,democracy is dead in singapore.Elections is just a formailty in singapore , everybody knows who is going to win.So wats the point of having elections.Candidates are not free to speak wat they want,remember that chee guy who got sued for insulting the ruling party in singapore.Even in other places such as school or at home,how many times have u felt that u are denied basic human rights and not given a chance to speak up and explain the mistakes that u might have made.So do u call this democracy when pple are not free to speak up and the elections are always in the favour of the ruling party as opposition are not given enough time to prepare and are generally weak.Democracy is dead in singpore.
