| Thats not entirely accurate GR!, types of democracy can vary in many ways one of them being how they deal with the minority rights, and as far as i can tell, your idea of it is when the minority opinion can be totally scrapped. |
 And how exactly did you arrive at that conclusion? |

| Well you seem to think equal power share is "undemocratic and anti-Cypriot", when democracy can be executed in various ways, and so far "Cypriotism" has proved to be nothing more than a fight for power and the removal of the rights of your fellow men. |

How minor is a minority?
...... surely it is down to the level of the individual ... and the individual is what / who Democracy respects ... |

 It goes to show why there is so much confusion on this planet! Whoever said that you can execute democracy in "various ways", which implies that you leave some of the bits out or modify them? 
It's the FORM of government that varies, ie: American Vs British system.
(the structure or the layout if you like) |

| Democracy is a group of Principles OR Values OR Ethics for the benefit of ALL citizens and not the structure of a government. It’s what was MISSING from the London/Zurich agreements that led to chaos because people were feeling discriminated against. |

If you're going to post stupid labels from the Wiki don't bother because as the link I posted earlier says...
