Which democratic system is best, US or UK?

I think the UK SYSTM MIGHT BE BETTER. With the USA basically having a two party system, there is little presentation of inovative solutions to social problems, and you get people who stay in office for more than 3or 4 terms in the House of Representatives and the Senate. One thing that would remedy the problem of career politicians would be to place term limits on everyone. That would improve things. I vote Democrat even though I am actually more Libertarian in my social philosophy. Many do this so that their vote will actually count for something...at least when it comes to congressional elections. With presidential elections there is a built in problem that needs to be remedied. It is called the Electoral College, for those of you not familiar with the national government here in the USA. It was the Electoral College that gave us Geroge Bush as president. He wasn't actually elected by the majority of the citizenry, in the strictest sense of the word.

They both have good points and bad points. In some ways the US is much more democratic because it allows people to vote for everyone in all parts of government, whereas in the UK we can only vote for MPs, local councils and MEPs (also MSPs and AMs if you are in Scotland or Wales). I would like for the UK to have an elected upper house like the Senate, instead of the House of Lords which the government of the day just fills with retired politicians from its own side and people who have donated money to their party. I also think it is stupid that we still have a monarch in this day and age instead of a president. However there are some very bad things about the US system. It is much harder to get into politics there unless you are rich, and the president has far too much power for one person. I think presidents should be more of a figurehead like in European countries, then it doesn't matter so much if they are stupid or corrupt. As well as that, I think politics in general is much more extreme and unpleasant than in the UK. Yes, the major parties have different policies but they all take a basically liberal line on issues like capital punishment and abortion. There are some things that the UK could learn from America but also a lot that they would benefit in taking from us!

The US is not really a democratic system a lot of people believe that but we are really a federal republic that has democratic traditions.In a democracy the majority rules in a republic like the USA the laws protect the rights of every person .I think it is important people learn about our government and why our laws should not be used against any one .

I believe that both democracies are unique in itself,however, I appreciate more how the British people propagate their system in the Commonwealth of Nations to showcase democracy!

Both of the democracy are a dream to the Indians. As there is nothing called democracy in my country India. Not even for the middle classes!
