1. I really don't understand the hype over the royal baby. 2. Britain is definitely more democratic than the US, but I think that there isn't a country on earth that can claim being the "most democratic." Democracy, in and of itself, is flawed. Unless you only have two political parties, the government will never have the support of the majority. And when you do have just two, you are limiting the people and their choices by only offering them two political parties. I'm sure that there are ways to fix this, but it would take major reforms. In the meantime, I don't think that any country can claim to be the most democratic. Someone shouldn't succeed at something just because every one else is doing a miserable job. I don't remember the exact quote, but I think it was Churchill who said, "Democracy is the worst form of government. It's a shame the others have already been tried."
