How democratic is the UK? To evaluate how democratic the UK is we must first understand what democracy is and recognize its many types. The most widely accepted definition of democracy is that created by former president of the united states Abraham Lincoln who said that democracy is 'government of the people, by the people and for the people'. There are then also the differing types of democracy, four of which are: parliamentary democracy, liberal democracy, direct democracy and representative democracy.

It is not necessary to expand the powers of the executive branch of the federal government to respond to the current strategic environment. The Founding Fathers envisioned a government with both balance and separation of powers. Expanding the power of the executive branch of the federal government, at the expense of the other branches, could lead to the abuse of power, as suggested in the Federalists Papers.
