Pointing out problems without solutions, comparisons or frame of reference is often nearly meaningless.
Reminds me of the tongue-in-cheek petitions against and calls for a ban of dihydrogen monoxide http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html
And of course Churchill's famous dictum that "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried" is apt here.
To at least create the appearance of balance, questions such as these must be raised:
• What is the good of democracy and how can it be amplified?
• What are the alternatives for its ills?
• How can nations wishing to make the most of democracy best proceed?
