The people of Switzerland have such far reaching rights it's amazing.
They have an amazing choice of media and freedom of the press and a
resulting great input into the decisions their government makes.
If you want to look at a properly functioning democracy, look there.
The people of Spain voted out their prime minister over the Iraqi war
because he did not represent the will of the people and took them into a
war without reason and one in which they did not want to be.
Spain was a good lesson in democracy.
A properly functioning democracy depends as much on the people as the
government. It depends on the literacy of the population as a whole, but
more so the literacy and thought at the grassroot levels. If the people
are illiterate, have limited freedom of media and information sources,
or are more concerned with I and advancing materially in a capitalist
society, then their country will suffer. In a Democracy a people get the
government they deserve.
Look beyond borders before making a statement that democracy does not
work.

If YOU had a diabolical mind - what would you do?
There is no question in my mind I would move in parallel efforts.
Especially when consider democracy is a great tool for the elite to
control a population and still move with impunity.
It is interesting to also note why there is a campaign to spread
democracy through out the world. Other than the good of the people of
course...
it is a very effective tool for controlling and manipulating a
population. [let them make decisions you don't care about... and give
them the illusion of power at the same time. Name one major issue that
any democratic government has had the power to enforce for their
people.]
