  IMO democracy is a failure when people don't vote for someone who has
the same *political* opinions, but for other irrelevant reasons.

  I'm pretty certain that Finland has a woman as president for the last
two terms mainly because 50% of the voters are female, not because her
political opinions would agree with the majority.
