Democracy does work but rather slowly

Yes, Democracy does work but rather slowly For getting a consensus , do we always have to pay a price in terms of TIME ? We are not THE ONLY democratic country . There are many others But they manage to reach that consensus within months which takes us YEARS - sometimes , never ! So , as you can see, the fault does not lie with the system of governance It lies with the " Honesty of Purpose " on the part of the politicians concerned These days, some people are blaming the Government for sabotaging the democratic institutions But then, no institution can perform / deliver , if on the part of the members of that institution, there is little willingness to patiently/dispassionately listen to the views of others - and none to compromise ( give and take ) in larger interest of the country May be following was an exception !
