Act democratically now!

First of all, to enable us to become a democratic country, all levels of society have to learn to accept and support whichever party won the majority of the vote in the general election.

Second, it's a pity that some groups have yet to learn to understand the meaning of democracy, which is evident by statements made which are not democratic. This nation is moving forward to become one of the biggest democratic countries in the world, hopefully by 2030.

To get there we all have to start to act democratically. If we simply can't do that now, I am afraid that democracy for this nation will be a mere daydream.
