Democracy is a privilege for elites not for poor. A poor person doesnt really give a rats arse whether he live under a democracy or an authoritarian system. In a country like Pakistan you need a leader with absolute power otherwise country will not progress further. China governance Model should be adopted for our country if we wish to have true peace and prosperity.
Maybe, this is correct for even rich countries.....democracy + socialism is also tragedy in India.....great Nehru gave both these to India.
