Democratic dictatorship


                You turn up to vote in an election. You vote. The other party wins, gets elected, carries out a series of policies that result in you being thrown on the dung heap of the unemployed, which forces you further and further into poverty.
                They then start spinning stories about the unemployed being lazy and idle, and the poor being responsible for their own poverty, despite all your futile attempts to escape this mess that you did not choose to create for yourself.
                This is democracy, or simply some crude form of dictatorship?
