I think the worst thing is people protecting "democracy" just because you HAVE TO protect "democracy". No one seems to stop and think what flaws the system might have, OR that there are different types of "democracies". A system where you can vote for 1 politician and 1 politician only is a democracy. A system where you can vote for as many politicians as you want is also a democracy. One allows the public to have a lot more control over who they want elected, the other is the opposite, sometimes (often) even forcing the people to vote for someone they don't like only because there's another guy they don't like more.

Don't protect democracy. Make a good version of it and keep improving that. Don't merely protect if its shit in the first place.
