Democracy can sometimes be 'unwieldly'.

Democracy, as a form of Government, can sometimes be 'unwieldy'. The reason being that Democratic Institutions can sometimes impede an immediate 'response', or a total 'inclusions' or 'exclusion' of democratic values, by the Bottom of Government, or by the People, at the Bottom. The 'immediate response' applies more on the International level than on a National level. The 'need' for an 'immediate response' applies to the International Level; while a less immediate, and more inclusive or exclusive consideration, applies to the National Level. In either case, a consideration of the people's welfare should always be the primary consideration, in all Government policy. Of course, on the International sphere, it sometimes becomes necessary to act with immediacy; that means by 'pure power'. Nevertheless, in a Democracy, the consideration of the welfare of the Nations People should always be a primary motive. Hence, Internationally, a Democracy should not act from 'selfish motives' of the Top, but from 'democratically', or, 'representational' motives. The primary concern in all democracies are the People at the Bottom of Government, who have 'granted' the power of 'representation' to the Top. Of course, an Autocracy, that does not care about its People, doesn't worry about those principles. But, Autocracies are 'weak' at the Top, because they may not have the support of the Bottom, in their decision process. But, Democracies are always stronger, because the Peoples welfare, is always a consideration in their governments activity of 'pure power'. In a Democracy, the Bottom always supports the Top, and the Top, always Represents, the Bottom. Democracies, do not, or, should not, act impetuously or hastily, because, they know that they will always have the support of the People, in a proper 'representational activity'.
