Until 5 decades ago black children were not allowed to travel to school in the same bus as white children but that was comfortably forgotten by those making the lists.
^That has nothing to do with the real "democracy"...
(I mean, that fact does not speak against "democracy")

There are plenty still alive today that were born into a 'democracy' where they didn't even have the same rights as others.
If we use the term 'universal suffrage' the list would look very different
whoopsie- dooped
I would certainly not try to sell Colonialism to you based on it's Democratic credentials. Merely it's legacy, in the case of the Brits- but it has also resulted in the two largest democracies in the world today.
Trying to assume which ones the two might be...
After googling, I have found one:

No, democracy is flawed like every other system. As a famous Brit once said, it is the worst political system ever apart from every other one ever tried. About the only democratic system that gets a real pass mark from me is Switzerland actually.
But we don't have much in the way of competition do we? Democratic Republic of Nth Korea? Thailand (masquerading as a democracy but very clearly not)? China?
. . . . you bastard! I've now got an mental image of Winston in tights that I cannot unsee!!!!!
