That is your definition of democracy?

So if there is a guy (or gal) as head of the executive committe (or some
such group), and some other group that passes laws, and a judiciary
that's it?

Sounds sort of like some communist countries that come to mind.
Certainly must be a lot more democracies that I thought there were.

I always understood democracy had something to do with the poplation at
large electing their rulers in a free vote - must have been mistaken.
