We already have a democracy. It's a nice one. Still some leftovers from the past like non-elected, appointed mayors and stuff, but for the rest, we have proportional representation, 15 or so parties across the spectrum (including 6 useless one-issue vote-wasters that won't reach the threshold), coalition talks for months, and plenty of creepy guys you don't want anywhere near power.

It's a system built by and for regents, not rulers or leaders. Also, we haven't had a government that finished a term since... I can't remember. Dutch democracy summarized: it's better to discuss something without deciding it, than to decide without discussing it.
