"What democracy did is to give the poor a vote. And it moves power from the market place to the polling station; from the wallet to the ballot."

~~ Tony Benn, former UK MP and minister.

There we watched a Taiwanese talk show (in mandarin cum hokkien dialect) commenting our democracy system. You are unlikely to find that being telecast in our national TV.

You may be more familiar with some of the arguments presented in the show if you regularly surf around the local socio-political blogosphere.

The next video is pretty enlightening about the history of democracy:

Part 5

While we savour the show, we have to ask ourselves this question: what is the price of democracy?
