Counter-point to Daron's Introduction

Hey Daron,
I'm afraid you have failed to highlight the limitations of a democratic system of governance. You are assuming that simply because the majority of your population is content with the government, your whole population is content too.
You have agreed in your last paragraph that democracy does not exist in its pure, uncorrupted form. Thus there are bound to be problems and limitations to the democratic form of government in the real world.
One of the major problems I can think of is this. There might arise a case where 51% of your population is for something while 49% is against it. Then according to a democratic form of government, the decision would favour the 51% of the population. However, this does not imply that the entire population is content with the decision. 49% of the population is quite a big number, even though they might be the minority in this case. Thus, this sizeable chunk of your population would be unhappy with the decision made, and it could disrupt the social, economic and even the political stability of your country.
Furthermore, in a democratic system of governance, the decisions will tend to favour the majority group, leading the minority group to be undermined all the time. How are you going to prevent this from happening? And if this process continues over a perios of time, the minority group is going to be discontent, since they will be at a disadvantage as compared to the majority group, won't they?
That's all I can think up of right now. Do try and answer back to my points if possible. (=
