Democracy is an in-progress process. Historical practices do not show patented forms of democracy applicable to all polities. The popular conception of and discourse on democracy as rule of people – a conception descending from Ancient Greek – is becoming less of an applicable principle and more of an ideal. This principle, moreover, gains more credibility in less diverse countries in which vested interests are less complicated and overlapping than in more diverse – particularly immigrant – ones.
