So that cuts out the USA...
As for Greece, it wasn't a true democracy either. Not everyone had the vote...
Democracy can't really be summed up in one sentance. That is kind of the point. Democracy is a very long winded, messy sysytem of governance. However, it is one of the more equitable systems going.
I'm not sure what a "pure" democracy would look like... if it is what "direct democracy" types are suggesting where we have plebicite on every issue, forget it.
