Democracy, as famously defined by the legendary American President, Abraham Lincoln, is a form of government that is of the people, by the people, and for the people.

But it is also “No” because I have seen where the people collected the financial or material inducement on offer, but voted according to the dictate of the principle of reciprocity – failure was punished, or according to the dictate of their conscience.
